Marcus Camby's agent reiterated Thursday that his client intends to return next season.
Camby's agent said the same thing in mid-May after Camby played in just 24 games this season. The veteran big man suffered through plantar fasciitis but is under contract through the 2014-15 season and has no reason to retire as long as he can suit up by training camp. We don't expect much out of the soon-to-be-40-year old and he doesn't deserve any consideration in fantasy formats. Jun 13 - 4:38 PM

Marcus Camby - F/C - Knicks

Marcus Camby admitted to being "frustrated" with his playing time this season.

"The team was playing well and the coach was comfortable with the rotation he had," GM Glen Grunwald said. "The coach had success with Tyson [Chandler] and Kenyon [Martin], and he decided to keep going with that." Camby appeared in just 24 games this season and battled through plantar fasciitis all year.

Marcus Camby - F/C - Knicks

Marcus Camby has been "healthy for a while now" and he intends to honor his contract for the 2013-14 season, according to his agent.

It was reported in mid-May that Camby was still suffering from plantar fasciitis, so we're not taking his agent's quotes as the inviolable truth. The veteran center appeared in just 24 games this season and he vanished from the Knicks' rotation during the postseason. He won't be a fantasy option in standard leagues no matter where he's playing next year.

Marcus Camby - F/C - Knicks

Marcus Camby is reportedly still suffering from plantar fasciitis.

This isn't surprising, but it helps explain why Camby has played just 12 seconds in the second round, despite the Knicks' need for size and length to combat the Pacers.

Marcus Camby (foot) will be active against the Celtics on Saturday, but Mike Woodson wasn't sure if he'll play.

Camby has been plagued by plantar fasciitis all season, which has limited his already shrunken role off the Knicks' bench. At this point, Camby is more of an insurance policy than anything else.

Marcus Camby (foot) went through practice on Thursday and is expected to be ready for Game 1 vs. Boston.

Camby has dealt with plantar fasciitis all season long, and even though he's healthy at the moment, he's not expected to have a major role (if he has one at all) in the playoffs. He's an insurance policy.

Marcus Camby (foot) will not play Wednesday night.

The Knicks are saving Camby for the postseason so it's no surprise he won't play Wednesday. Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, Jason Kidd and J.R. Smith are also being rested.

Marcus Camby is active for Monday's game and is expected to play some minutes on Monday.

Marcus Camby (foot) is expected to be ready for Game 1 of the playoffs against the Celtics.

Marcus Camby (foot) will not play on Thursday vs. Chicago.

Camby did not travel meaning he'll be out on Friday as well, and Mike Woodson said flatly that "he's not ready." Chris Copeland, who is starting at center, along with Steve Novak will both see extended minutes.

Marcus Camby (foot) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Bulls.

It would be nothing short of shocking if he plays, and even if he does, it will be in an extremely limited role or not at all.

Marcus Camby (foot) will not play Tuesday vs. Washington, as expected.

Marcus Camby - F/C - Knicks

Marcus Camby (foot), who missed his fifth straight game on Sunday, is not expected to return before the postseason at the earliest.

Even if Camby does return, Mike Woodson said it would be in a limited role. He's in the first year of a three-year deal with the Knicks, but it's hard to see how Camby finishes out that contract.

Marcus Camby was ejected in the third quarter of Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies for two technical fouls.

Two different refs gave him the two technical fouls in a matter of seconds and his night is over. Camby played just eight minutes, which is more than Goran Dragic will play tonight.
