New York Knicks center Tyson Chandler exited last evening's game after colliding with Gerald Wallace of the Brooklyn Nets.  Chandler suffered a left knee injury and is scheduled for an MRI today that will reveal is there's any structural damage.  

“I stretched my knee out a little and it was awkward,” Chandler said. “I’m taking precautions until I get an MRI so I will be on crutches. I do not want it to get worse. They tell me to stay off my knee until I get an MRI....I just didn’t want it to be anything.....We’ve got bodies down. I felt great before the start of the game and I wanted to set a tone leading to the first game of the season. I wanted to be out there. It was more so that I knew they weren’t going to let me come back so (there was) more of that frustration.”
