Knicks veteran guard Courtney Lee said he’s responding to an injection to calm an inflamed nerve in his neck and will meet with doctors in a week to see if he can be cleared for practice.
Lee didn’t play in the preseason, hasn’t played in the regular season and hasn’t talked much. In his first comments in three weeks, Lee called the mysterious injury “something I wouldn’t wish on anyone” and couldn’t set a time when he thinks he’ll make his season debut.
Lee, 33, described it as “spasms, there’s a strain, it’s irritated, an inflamed nerve and a little bit of whiplash.
