The following are the Knicks’ medical updates:
Josh Harrellson (fractured right wrist) has been cleared to practice in full, starting tomorrow.
Iman Shumpert (left knee tendinitis) will practice on a limited basis, starting tomorrow.
Bill Walker (sore left elbow) is not scheduled to practice tomorrow.

Well I did say picks. I'm not gonna undervalue TD that much. I'm saying get 2 2nd round picks for both of them.Originally Posted by CDonWasHisName
People do know injuries do happen. That's why we have 3 reserved spot in case multiple players get hurt.
As much as you may hate him Douglas is worth a 2nd by his self

Can Amare Bounce Back?
Today's Burning Question: Can Amare Stoudemire turn it around in the second half?
The numbers aren't pretty.
Through the first 35 games of the season, Amare Stoudemire is averaging 17.5 points per game on 44 percent shooting -- the lowest totals in both categories since his rookie season.
Some have speculated that he isn't healthy. But Stoudemire has said again and again that he feels fine.
So that begs the question: are we seeing Stoudemire diminish before our eyes?
For the Knicks, who signed Stoudemire to a five-year, $100 million contract in the summer of 2010, that's a scary proposition.
In an interview on ESPN New York 1050's "The Michael Kay Show" on last Tuesday, interim general manager Glen Grunwald noted that Stoudemire was playing well before his brother,Hazell, died in a car crash earlier this month. And he expects him to bounce back.
Stoudemire spent a week away from the team to mourn his brother's death.
"I think we've just got to be patient with him," Grunwald said. "He was playing very well before he had that tragedy in his family and I expect him to get back to that level shortly."
Just how long it takes Stoudemire to get back there -- if he gets there at all -- is one of the most intriguing story lines for the Knicks in the second half of the season.
So far this year, Stoudemire has shown little explosiveness near the rim -- a career-high 9.6 percent of his shots have been blocked.
Are his knees an issue?
Stoudemire underwent microfracture surgery on his left knee in late 2005. He had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in April 2006. Because of the knee issues, Stoudemire's contract is uninsurable, making him less attractive as a trade piece.
What about his back?
Stoudemire spent most of the five-month lockout rehabbing a back injury that he suffered in the playoffs. This robbed him of the opportunity to play five-on-five, something he's mentioned often when discussing his performance in the first half of the season. The implication is that he's had to play catchup in-season, getting acclimated to the rhythm and intricacies of NBA game play on the fly.
Another issue for Stoudemire earlier in the season was a lack of opportunity on the pick and roll.Tyson Chandler had become the team's primary screener on the pick and roll, robbing Stoudemire of opportunities at the rim.
And then there's the ever-present elephant in the room: the strongly-supported theory that Stoudemire's game isn't the same with Carmelo Anthony. Can Stoudemire present evidence to refute that theory in the second half?
Looking on the bright side, Stoudemire's makes and attempts at the rim have increased in February, since Jeremy Lin emerged as the Knicks' starting point guard, so perhaps that's a sign that Stoudemire can pick things up after the break.
His field goal percentage has also jumped five percent in February.
So this leads us to our question: Is this a sign of things to come? Can Stoudemire turn it around? Or will he continue to regress?
