Knicks’ Cleanthony Early to miss 2-3 months

After sustaining a gun-shot wound to his right knee in a targeted robbery, New York Knicks forward Cleanthony Early underwent MRI and X-ray exams that revealed no structural damage or surgery required, according to league sources.

Early remains in New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where doctors and the New York Knicks' training staff have worked to keep the 24-year-old's knee from becoming infected.

Early is expected to need two to three months to recover, with his week-to-week timetable potentially changing, depending on his rehabilitation.
