His style is his own, and he has made a point to ensure it is unique and interesting — a style captured in the upcoming April issue of GQ magazine. “Even before I moved to NYC, I realized that there are no off days,” he told GQ. “Especially in the camera-phone era. I started to look at fashion the same way I look at my games — there’s always going to be someone watching you for the first time.” New York Post

Tyson Chandler thought he was improving enough to where he could play Tuesday night. But the bulging disc in his neck continues to be a problem. Chandler said he can't "look up," and he's feeling sensation down his right side. "It runs down my neck and shoulder," he said before the Knicks played the Celtics. Chandler missed his seventh consecutive game and probably won't play Wednesday night when the Knicks host the Grizzlies at the Garden. They're listing him as questionable, but Chandler said "most likely" he'll sit. Newsday

The Knicks aren't ruling Tyson Chandler out yet for tomorrow - but he certainly sounds again like he's not playing. Asked about the Celtics declaring Kevin Garnett out for two weeks, he agreed that's a good approach - but hopes he's not sidelined that long. "I absolutely have to make sure I’m right," Chandler said. "I hope not that long. I don’t foresee it being that long. I felt like I was close yesterday. But like the trainers talked about I’ve got to be able to move around and feel good. Yesterday I felt like I was close. I’m like, 'Close is good enough for me, let’s try it.' But obviously I’m not good." Sulia

Tyson Chandler and Kurt Thomas are expected to undergo MRIs on their respective injuries when the Knicks return home Tuesday. Chandler bruised his left knee in Wednesday's loss at Denver, but his strained neck is more of a concern right now. He sat out Monday night's game against the Jazz because of that and will undergo tests Tuesday. "It's bothering him," Mike Woodson said before the Knicks tried to salvage the five-game trip and get their first win. "We've got to probably get him examined when we get back. We'll play that by ear as we head back up the road. I'm sure he'll be examined when we get home." Chandler's neck has been an issue on and off throughout the season, and the Knicks want to know the cause. Newsday

Tyson Chandler usually is one of the most accessible Knicks, willing to discuss almost anything. But he didn't want to talk about his injured left knee. Chandler shook his head as he walked past reporters after the Knicks' 105-90 loss in Portland on Thursday night. He eventually stopped but said little, and he isn't sure he will be able to play Sunday afternoon against the Clippers. "Maybe," he said. "We'll see." Newsday

The Knicks said that Anthony and Tyson Chandler (left knee contusion) are both questionable for Sunday afternoon's game at 3:30 p.m. There is no status yet on Kenyon Martin, who suffered a knee bone contusion in the Knicks' loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night. "When a key guy goes down that's a big piece, a major piece to your puzzle, sure you've got to worry," coach Mike Woodson said Thursday on ESPN New York 98.7 FM radio. "There's no doubt I'm worried. There's no doubt that I'm worried about Carmelo. But I'm worried about our team as a whole with how we're playing. Coming out of that Utah game at home, these past two games have been a nightmare for all of us." ESPN.com
