Raymond Felton will miss substantial time for the Knicks after he revealed that the fractured pinky finger he suffered against the Lakers on Christmas Day will keep him out of action for 4-6 weeks. Felton stressed that it was not a season-ending injury, and that he will fly back to New York on Friday to determine whether surgery will be required on the finger. He injured it when diving for a loose ball in the third quarter of the loss to Los Angeles.
“This is not a season-ending injury,” Felton told reporters in Phoenix, according to Newsday. “It’s something that will last four to six weeks at the most. I may need surgery, I got to do what’s best for my hand so I can get back and help this team.”
Felton leads the Knicks in assists per game this season with 6.3 per outing.
