Tyson Chandler injures knee in New York Knicks defeat

Tyson Chandler sustained a knee injury during the New York Knicks' 102-97 defeat to the Charlotte Bobcats last night.

The center left the game in the first quarter after being floored by a collision with Bobcats point guard Kemba Walker.

Head coach Mike Woodson told reporters: "We don't know the severity yet. We'll know more [this] morning. He's a big piece of what we do. I got a lot to think about right now."

ESPN reports that Chandler may have suffered a sprain, but that further tests will be needed to assess the extent of the injury.
