NEW YORK -- Baron Davis has torn the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee, a potentially career-threatening injury for the Knicks 33-year-old point guard. The Knicks said Davis will have surgery this week and is expected to be out a year after an MRI on Monday also revealed a partial tear of the patella tendon. Davis was hurt Sunday in the Knicks 89-87 victory over Miami, crumbling to the court when his knee gave out as he dribbled upcourt on a fast break in the third quarter. Teammates quickly waved for help, and some players looked away as replays of the gruesome injury were shown on the overhead video board. "I didnt want to watch," Heat forward Chris Bosh said. "I kind of heard the reaction and then when they were playing it back on the Jumbotron like 80 times everybody could hear the reaction of the crowd. You never want to see guys go down like that. I just hope that everythings OK for him and he recovers well." Davis was taken off the court on a stretcher, with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade offering the popular veteran words of encouragement as he was wheeled away. Davis has battled injuries in recent years and said he wasnt sure if he would play again after a herniated disk in his back last year kept him out until February. He became the starter after Jeremy Lin needed surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, and becomes the second Knicks guard to be lost for the season during this series. Rookie Iman Shumpert tore his ACL in Game 1. Interim coach Mike Woodson said earlier Monday that Davis was in good spirits after the game, calling him a "trooper." "The one thing he did say is, Man, hey, I tried to give you all I could, and I have a great deal of respect for players that work for me and work for the organization and try to do the best they can to help us win ballgames," Woodson said during a conference call. Davis joined the Knicks this season and averaged 6.1 points in 29 games while also dealing with a hamstring injury. In his 13th season, he has averaged 16.1 points and was twice an All-Star. His injury leaves Mike Bibby as the starting point guard for Game 5 on Wednesday, with the Knicks trailing 3-1 in the series. Wholesale NFL Jerseys USA .

Bourdy was flawless around Leopard Creek Country Club for a 6-under 66, carding six birdies and no dropped shots to set the early pace. Bourdy was just clear of Schwartzel and five others at the second event on the European Tours 2013 Race to Dubai. A fit-again Schwartzel, who won in Thailand last weekend for his first title since the 2011 Masters, had five birdies and no bogeys in his 5-under 67. The South African shared second with countrymen Louis de Jager, Oliver Bekker and Darren Fichardt and English pair Steve Webster and Richard Bland. Branden Grace was in a tie for eighth after his 68, while former British Open champion and No. 5-ranked Louis Oosthuizen struggled to a 73, chiefly because of a quadruple-bogey eight on the third hole -- his 12th. BBourdy has won on South Africas Sunshine Tour before and has three European Tour titles.dddddddddddd He had three birdies on either side of the turn in a smooth start to his week at Leopard Creek in northern South Africa. Behind him, Schwartzel was beginning to find his 2011 form after struggling for much of this year with a chest injury. Having powered to an 11-shot win in Bangkok on Sunday, Schwartzel put himself in early contention for back-to-back wins to begin his new season. "Its a nice start," Schwartzel said. "Whenever you can start off with a 5 under its good. Like I always say, you cant win on the first day, but you can sure lose it." Webster, who lost in a playoff in the opening tournament of the new European Tour season last weekend, also went bogey-free in his 5-under 67. Grace, a four-time winner this year, was tied for eighth on 4 under with Germanys Maximilian Kieffer, Englands Graeme Storm and another South African, Mark Williams. ' ' '
