Raymond Felton has a bone bruise in his left hand, according to the New York Daily News, an injury that may or may not cause the New York Knicks' point guard to miss playing time.
Raymond Felton suffers bone bruise, listed as day-to-day
Raymond Felton might miss time with a bone bruise in his left hand, which would leave the New York Knicks without both of their starting guards as Jason Kidd recovers from a back injury.

Felton experienced pain in the hand during the Knicks' win Sunday over the Phoenix Suns, but played through it while scoring 23 points and adding seven assists. There was some worry that he had broken a bone, but testing after the game revealed just a deep bruise. He's considered day-to-day.
Felton has impressed in his return to New York, quieting some of the ruckus caused by the team's decision not to bring back Jeremy Lin. Although he's had some bad nights -- 3-of-19 shooting cost the team a win in their first game against the Brooklyn Nets -- he's averaging 15.1 points and 6.8 assists. The team is already missing its other starting guard, as Jason Kidd is out indefinitely with a back injury. That tandem has been a large part of the team's early success, instigating patient ball movement. Behind them, the Knicks have only Pablo Prigioni, a 35-year-old Argentinian rookie who has looked like a great find for New York on several occasions but missed the only shot he took and committed three turnovers on Sunday.
