Jared Jeffries (knee) is on a minutes limit.
"I've been better," Jeffries said. He's trying to fight through the pain in his knee, but he admitted it's been a struggle and Mike Woodson has had to put him on a "pitch count" as a result. The veteran will meet with doctors after the season to see if surgery is necessary, but he played just nine minutes in Wednesday's win against the Bucks.

Jared Jeffries (knee) will play on Sunday against the Bulls.
Jeffries has been out since March 21 with the injury, but he's set to make his return at a time when the Knicks really need him. Mike Woodson loves his defense and said that Jeffries will see minutes, but owners in standard-sized leagues can leave him on the waiver wire.

Jared Jeffries said that his knee feels great and that he plans on playing Sunday for the Knicks when they take on the Bulls.
Jeffries will be a big help in adding depth to the Knicks rotation, but no help for your fantasy teams. He is safe to leave on waivers.

Jared Jeffries (knee) will try to run on Friday, and depending how he feels he could return to action on Sunday.
Jeffries' return would be huge for the Knicks' odds of holding off the Bucks for a playoff spot, but the defensive specialist doesn't provide significant fantasy value.

Jared Jeffries will miss two weeks with inflammation in his right knee.
Jeffries is an undervalued defensive presence and glue-guy for the Knicks, but the good news is an MRI didn't find any structural damage. Mike Woodson said his absence will force other players to step up for the Knicks, and he specifically named Josh Harrellson.

Jared Jeffries (knee) won't play on Friday against the Raptors or on Saturday against the Pistons.
No surprise here as Jeffries wasn't expected to play on Friday and was considered doubtful for Saturday. He will have an MRI on his knee Saturday morning which will assess the extent of his injury. Sharpshooter Steve Novak should see a few more minutes in Jeffries' absence.
