Knicks wait for Curry

The New York Knicks were waiting for Eddy Curry to report to training camp amid suspense about medical tests into the irregular heartbeat that prompted Chicago to trade him this week.

Knicks president Isiah Thomas and coach Larry Brown had hoped Curry would make it to the College of Charleston on Wednesday, but by late afternoon, team spokesman Jonathan Supranowitz said Curry likely would not work out until today.

Before then, the team will not reveal anything about the 22-year-old's health status.

''My gut feeling is that we probably won't have an update [Wednesday],'' Supranowitz said.

Along with Curry, Chicago traded veteran forward Antonio Davis in the deal the NBA approved Tuesday. The Knicks sent forwards Tim Thomas, Michael Sweetney and Jermaine Jackson to Chicago. Several draft picks also were involved in the deal.

Curry, the Bulls' leading scorer last season, missed the final 13 games of the regular season and the playoffs after the irregular heartbeat was diagnosed.

Brown had crossed his fingers that Curry would pass his physical and heart tests and join the Knicks.

''I don't know. I was asking Isiah, but we don't know,'' Brown said. ``I hope they can come. When it happens, it happens. It's the second day, so I don't think it's critical.''

Chicago didn't want to part with Curry, but team officials demanded he take a DNA test to see if he's susceptible to cardiomyopathy, the ailment that killed former Boston Celtics guard Reggie Lewis and Loyola Marymount star Hank Gathers.
