Isiah Thomas yesterday confirmed Allan Houston could be done until next training camp. The vibes from Houston that he may not be ready for the postseason grew yesterday, as he talked about not wanting a premature comeback jeopardizing next season.
"It will probably be a wait-and-see with Allan," Isiah said. "His situation is day to day and that could change depending on where he's at. That's a possibility [of him missing the playoffs]. I'm hoping that's not the case but that could be the case."

If DerMarr Johnson starts again at small forward at the Garden tonight vs. Portland, you can count on another loss for the Knicks in what it is a monster game for their playoff hopes. After tonight's game, the Knicks play five of their final seven games on the road, where their record is 13-23.
Johnson started Saturday in the Detroit destruction because Allan Houston, Tim Thomas and Penny Hardaway were all out. A mentally and physically tortured Houston is out indefinitely, possibly even until next training camp. Meanwhile, Thomas and Hardaway, the strained-right-groin twins, are shooting to play tonight, but both are listed as questionable.
Thomas, out for nine days, is more likely to play than Hardaway, as he went rough a full-speed workout Saturday.
"It felt good, it's a little painful," Thomas said. "I'll get treatment and I'll be able to go [tonight]. I definitely need to be out there."
"I don't want to go backwards," Hardaway said. "We're in a race, but we feel like if we get everyone back the right way, that we'll have a chance to make the playoffs and make some noise. We don't want guys limping into the playoffs and not be able to recover and just get smashed in the first round."

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) New York's Allan Houston and Detroit's Rasheed Wallace each sat out the Knicks-Pistons game Saturday night with injuries.
Wallace, who is averaging 14.5 points and 6.8 rebounds since coming to Detroit from Atlanta at the trading deadline, has a sore lower back and is day to day.
Houston missed four games with a left quadriceps contusion before playing eight minutes in New York's win over Toronto on Friday, and is sidelined with the same injury.
Houston's injury, combined with the continuing absence of Tim Thomas (groin) and Penny Hardaway (groin), left the Knicks with only nine healthy players against the Pistons.
