Former Cat Kelenna Azubuike might not be ready to play this season

Coach Mike D’Antoni gave his most damning assessment of Kelenna Azubuike’s status last night, as the Knicks worse fears are being realized that he might not be ready this season or ever play a game for the team. “He’s not ready, physically,” D’Antoni said of Azubuike, who is recovering from left knee surgery. “If you watch the scrimmages, he doesn’t have the pop and it’s going to be a while before he gets it back. He can [play in] scrimmages, but he’s not strong enough or able to go sideways or able to have an NBA physical talent level. It’s just not there yet.”
