“He’ll be back -- but when, I don’t know,” Woodson told ESPN New York. “We’re gradually trying to get him back where he can run again so he can get back in a uniform. But when, we don’t know when yet.”
According to the report, some decision-makers within the Knicks organization would like to move forward with finding a free agent, perhaps 35-year-old Kenyon Martin.
The injury, which was first called a “sore foot,” could keep Wallace out for the rest of the season, according to the sources. Asked on Wednesday by ESPN New York about his potential return, Wallace said it wasn’t his decision.
Wallace averaged 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds with the Knicks this year, his first season of action after being pulled out of a two-year retirement.
