Kurt Thomas (foot) is fully healed and would consider returning to the NBA "if the right call comes." "He's working out five days a week, keeping in excellent shape," said Thomas' agent. "His foot is 100 percent healed, has been for months. He hasn't announced his retirement." It seems doubtful that any team would take a gamble on the 41-year-old big man, and even if he lands a 10-day contract he's not a fantasy consideration.

Kurt Thomas (foot) is undecided about playing next season. "I'm just concentrating on trying to get healthy," he said. Thomas is off crutches, and the 40-year-old isn't closing the door on returning to basketball next season. "I definitely miss being around the guys. I miss being a part of the playoffs. And I just miss being around basketball. I love the game," Thomas said.

Knicks waived F/C Kurt Thomas. The Knicks could no longer afford to keep a roster spot for Thomas, who is dealing with a stress reaction in his foot and will likely need surgery. They are going to sign Solomon Jones after James Singleton couldn't get clearance from his Chinese team. Thomas, who will turn 41 in October, has likely played in his last NBA game.

The Knicks will release Kurt Thomas in order to make room on the roster for James Singleton. Thomas has been hurt all year with foot issues and he's obviously a liability at 40 years of age. The Knicks need healthy bodies with Tyson Chandler and Kenyon Martin ruled out for Thursday, so Singleton should see a noticeable role in the rotation right off the bat.

Kurt Thomas (foot) is rehabbing, but he has no timetable to return. Thomas was diagnosed with a 2-4 week timetable, but we're now well into that period and there is no sign of Thomas' return. He's still a coin flip to return in the postseason, and even if he does, it will be to a minimal role.

Kurt Thomas (foot) is not expected to return any time in the near future. Thomas was given a 2-4 week timetable on March 19, but that was overly optimistic and there is no real chance he'll return before the playoffs, at the earliest. Mike Woodson is not expecting Thomas to be on a court "anytime soon."

Kurt Thomas admitted that his odds of returning from his foot injury in time for the playoffs are "50-50." The Knicks gave Thomas a 2-4 week timetable, but that's sounding overly optimistic. Thomas initially suffered a stress fracture in 2006, and he's been playing through it since. "We'll see," Thomas said when asked about returning within his timetable. Thomas wants to return this season and isn't ready to retire after the year.

Kurt Thomas' (foot) could miss more than the two-to-four weeks. The two-to-four weeks was the timetable the Knicks gave him, but Dr. Steven Weinfeld, chief of foot and ankle service at the Icahn School of Medicine, does not believe he'll heal that fast. "My experience is these things don't heal quite that quickly," he said. Thomas had a stress fracture for years before he was diagnosed with an acute stress reaction. It sounds like Thomas will take at least 3-4 weeks to heal, if not longer.

Kurt Thomas (foot) will miss 2-4 weeks. Thomas' official diagnosis is an acute stress reaction surrounding a chronic stress fracture in his right foot. In other words, he's old. The 40-year-old Thomas may not play again this season, leaving the Knicks even thinner up front. They are going to have to sign an big body soon.
