The injured back of Knick rookie Danilo Gallinari still remains a concern, with the Italian forced on the sidelines watching his teammate's go through voluntary workouts while not knowing if he'll be able to go in training camp.

"I'm watching the guys, trying to get my back back," Gallinari said, according to the New York Post. "I can't say if I'll be ready or not ready. I want to be in training camp, but it will be a long season and I want to take care of my back and not rush."
