Season-ending Injuries | featured news

Beverley was injured against the Indiana Pacers last week

Anthony, who appeared in 40 of the Knicks’ 53 games this season, has said he had soreness in his left knee since the team’s second game.

The Indiana Pacers say Danny Granger will have left knee surgery
and miss the rest of the season, leaving them without one of their
best offensive players for the postseason.

Sixers center Andrew Bynum will have season-ending arthroscopic surgery on both knees, the team announced Tuesday.

Boston Celtics star point guard Rajon Rondo has torn his anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the rest of the season. The team made the announcement during Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. The Celtics had lost six in a row heading into the nationally televised game despite back-to-back triple-doubles by the point guard who had been elected to start for the East in the Feb. 17 All-Star game in Houston.

The air got sucked out of United Center with 1 minutes 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Derrick Rose, back and bouncing, was still in the game, neither the score (12-point lead) nor the clock requiring it. But this was the playoffs, Philadelphia had trailed a few minutes earlier by 20, Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau wanted to seal the deal.

Knicks rookie Iman Shumpert had to be carried off the court after he suffered a left knee injury midway through the third quarter of Game 1 between the Knicks and Heat on Saturday.

Say so long to Linsanity. Jeremy Lin will miss the rest of the regular season because he needs knee surgery that will sideline him six weeks and could leave the Knicks without their star point guard in the playoffs - if they make it that far.

The impact looked minor but Rubio's reaction sent worries through the team and the stands instantly. Everyone's worst fears were confirmed with an MRI exam Saturday. Rubio's rookie season, which began so late, suddenly was ending early, and in this wondrous 24/7 wired world, reaction from around the league was immediate.

Monta Ellis' season is over. The Golden State Warriors guard was diagnosed with a concussion Monday, a day after a hard fall on his head in a 104-103 loss to the Sacramento Kings. Ellis will not play Monday night at Denver or in Wednesday's season finale at home against Portland.
