Anyone heard anything abouth his status recently?

MJG

I haven't heard anything about an exact date, but I did see that he is taking it very slowly this time around. He is not in a rush to get back like the last couple of times because when he comes back, he wants it to be permanent. Based off of that knowledge, I would guess that he isn't going to be ready by the start of the season.

He did have surgery 6-25-03 and is expected to miss all of training camp. Most people seem to think that he'll miss a good part of this season as well, if not all of it.

I think I read something to that effect here.

forget mcdyess. you have to go into the season thinking he's not going to be healthy. it was kind of like a couple of years ago when camby got hurt early and the knicks kind of played .500 ball when he was out. all they kept saying was "when camby comes back, we'll be better" "when camby comes back this, when camby comes back that" - i have this strange feeling we'll be hearing that again this year "when dyess comes back, we'll be better". i hope they don't use it as an excuse but if they play under .500 the first half of the year, they may start using the mcdyess line.

i don't want mcdyess to come back just because it will hinder sweets' development. mcdyess may be a better player but i can't see him being anywhere close to a 18 and 8 player coming off of three knee surgeries. let sweets' play and get mcdyess off the books after the season.

the ABSOLUTE worst case scenario would be for mcdyess to come back, drop 20 and 8 and the knicks sign him long-term only for him to get hurt again. and you know layden will sign him long term to make up for the fact that he traded for damaged goods.

Antonio McDyess is never going to play at an all-star level again. He may come back for a game or thirty, but then he'll get injured again. Same thing as always happens with players who have an injury as serious as his: Grant Hill, Vince Carter, Marcus Camby.

Perennial All Star

mdyess will be out probably for the whole season again.i hope layden doesnt do something stupid and trade his contract away and acquire a bigger and longer one,because thats what Layden does.

Early reports are saying that due to his surgery, and his desire to remain healthy, McDyess will miss all of training camp and the pre-season, and may or may not be ready to go for opening day.
