Kerry Kittles said he has no timetable for his return from a sprained left knee, according to the New York Post. "It's a little bit better," Kittles said. "It's still sore. I never tore anything like that before. I have to let it heal. There's a little partial tear [in the MCL]."

got this from a toronto paper.

Normally, Antonio Davis would be matched up with the 6-foot-11, 230-pound Wallace, but he remains questionable for this afternoon's contest.

Davis limped off the court with a little over two minutes to go in the first half of the Raptors' Friday evening win over the Bulls. His knee was swollen and stiff, but Davis said it was "stable." Yesterday, Davis did not work out with the team as he was undergoing diagnostic tests. He will be re-evaluated before tipoff today.

"It's just unfortunate and I'm not going to dwell on it, really," Wilkens said. "I'm just going to hope that it's a day-to-day situation and, hey, maybe he comes out and plays."
