Othella Stays... for now

Oct 27, 2003 8:41 PM EST

The New York Knicks have cut center Travis Knight and guard Matt Carroll in order to get their roster down to the mandatory 15 places, meaning Othella Harrington is still a Knick... for now.

Chicago and Toronto have been in discussions with the Knicks about the disgruntled forward, with the Bulls ready to swoop should Harrington be waived. Tyronne Hill remains another possibility for Chicago.

The Knicks also added forward Maciej Lampe (shin splints), forward Antonio McDyess (left knee surgery) and center Slavko Vranes (right patella tendinitis) have been placed on the Injured List, meaning each will miss a minimum of five games.

McIntyre said there would be no repercussions against the Raptors because of the cancellation, which left about 8,000 basketball fans at the soldout Mile One Stadium hooting in derision."
