Kurt Thomas has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right foot.

Kurt Thomas played through bone spurs in his foot on Monday against the Jazz, scoring six points on 3-of-5 shooting with three rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 27 minutes. Thomas locked up Al Jefferson in the process and after the game he rode an old-timey bicycle back to the hotel to take in an episode of Matlock.

Kurt Thomas will play through bone spurs in his foot. He is going to get an MRI on Tuesday, but the Knicks need all the bodies they can suit up with Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler down. Thomas doesn't have anything but short-term value.

Kurt Thomas (foot) will have an MRI when the Knicks return to New York on Tuesday. Initial reports referred to his injury as a sprain, but the team is afraid that Thomas may have a season-ending stress fracture. Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin and Chris Copeland will all play bigger roles for however long Thomas is out.

Kurt Thomas (sprained right foot) is questionable to play on Monday against the Jazz. Another injury to a big man is not what the Knicks need right now. If Thomas sits, we'd expect Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, Chris Copeland and Steve Novak all to see their roles increased.

Kurt Thomas is expected to start again on Friday. Thomas has played less than 10 minutes in both of his starts this season, and although Steve Novak was under consideration to start, Mike Woodson will keep the shooter in his usual reserve role.

Kurt Thomas started at power forward against the Nets on Monday. Thomas played eight minutes and scored two points with two boards. There is a decent chance that this could be his last blurb of the year, and needless to say he has no fantasy value.

Kurt Thomas could start on opening night if Tyson Chandler (knee) isn't ready. Thomas, 40 years old, is the healthiest member of the Knicks frontline with Rasheed Wallace still getting in shape, Amare Stoudemire (knee) out to begin the year, Marcus Camby still recovering from him calf injury and Chandler (knee) dealing with a bone bruise. To say the least, the Knicks are banged up heading into the season.

Kurt Thomas played 14 minutes in a start at PF on Saturday, scoring four points and grabbing two rebounds. Kurt was pressed into active duty with Tyson Chandler and Amare Stoudemire both taking the night off. The veteran big man will split reserve frontcourt minutes with Marcus Camby, and he won't ever again be a fantasy option.

The Knicks acquired Kurt Thomas as part of Saturday's trade for Raymond Felton. Thomas has one year and $1.4 million left on his contract. He should fit in nicely coming off the bench, and the gritty veteran is already a fan-favorite in New York, having played seven successful seasons for the Knicks from 1998-2005.
