Knicks management continues to have problems with their point guard player, Stephon Marbury. Marbury was told by Isiah Thomas not to be present at home games of the Knicks. A confident source said the point guard was given a gag order and told not to speak to the press. This indicates that the feud between former pals has not subsided but has obviously gone worse. Marbury himself has made no comments on the issue since he had an ankle surgery on January 22nd. He has been on rehab for over the past week in the club’s practice facility in Westchester and a close source said that he had wanted to meet up with the club on the team bench during their home games.

Thomas took the feud a step forward on Wednesday during an interview. He was taking about their need for additional point guards to help Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson and Fred Jones with ball handling. He was talking about their coming season’s backcourt and just did not mention Marbury. Marbury plays point guard and must have not been happy with being left out. He was given chance twice to correct himself during the interview but he adamantly refused to mention Marbury. Marbury still has a year’s contract and $21 million on his contract.
