Knicks center Eddy Curry was bound with duct tape while his suburban Chicago home was robbed at gunpoint early yesterday, police said.
Curry, his wife and an employee were restrained as three robbers made off with cash and jewelry, police said. No one was injured, and none of Curry's children was home at the time of the invasion, a person with knowledge of the situation said. Authorities do not believe it was a random incident, meaning the 6-11, 285-pounder was targeted.
According to one unconfirmed account, Curry came home to find the robbery in progress. No arrests have been reported.
"We are aware of the situation," the Knicks said in a statement. "We are very thankful that Eddy and his family are safe. He told us that it was a traumatic experience. We are aware that the local authorities are handling the situation."

New York Knicks' center Eddy Curry's home in Chicago was reportedly broken into early Saturday morning, police said. Curry may have been tied up during the possible home invasion.
Curry averaged 19.5 points and seven rebounds a game for the Knicks last season.
Curry was traded from the Chicago Bulls to the Knicks in October 2005.
"We [are] aware of the situation and are very thankful that Eddy Curry and his family are safe. He told us it was a traumatic experience. At this time we are aware that the local authorities are handling the situation," according to a statement from the Knicks.

Coach Maurice Cheeks sees rising 76ers star Andre Iguodala "going up the ladder." The latest rung involves landing a berth among eight to 10 young NBA players invited to practice and scrimmage with the U.S. national team before next month's Olympic qualifying tournament in Las Vegas.
Cheeks, in California, became aware of that development yesterday.
Jerry Colangelo, managing director of the national team, confirmed Iguodala's acceptance Wednesday. According to published reports, others who were tendered invitations include Al Jefferson, Boston; Devin Harris, Dallas; Monta Ellis, Golden State; and David Lee, New York. Portland's Brandon Roy might not be able to participate because of a scheduling conflict.
