The MRI showed a labrum tear in his right shoulder and he'll need rehab. The Knicks would not give an official timetable until tomorrow, but Isiah Thomas indicated a "couple of weeks'' is in the ballpark. Curry entered the University of South Carolina arena for the morning shootaround with a grin, tipping his hand. Curry talked about shooting for next Wednesday's game in Boston, but that's unlikely. You don't want to take chances with a shoulder. Curry will likely miss more than half their exhibition games, including tonight's vs. the Sixers here. But there was a small possibility before he took the MRI that he could have a torn rotator cuff, which is season-ending. Curry reported his rotator cuff looked fine on the MRI read by South Carolina doctors. But Curry won't be able to pitch tonight for the Yankees, as Isola of The News joked. -- Sixers executive Larry Brown is in town with the Sixers, at the team hotel, but did not attend their morning shootaround, probably to avoid the New York media whom he blames partly for his demise and Isiah Thomas. Brown has given no interviews with the Philly media this training camp, but it will be worth a shot tonight. Posters around town promoting the game have South Carolina grad Renaldo Balkman's picture all over it. Too bad he's out until late October/early November. Walking about Columbia, I saw the famous statehouse that drew all the controversy a few years ago for flying the Confederate flag on its top. The Knicks threatened a boycott of Charleston because of it. South Carolina politicians removed it from the top of the building but the flag now hangs prominently in front of the building. Maybe a flag is just a flag, but my hotel van driver is still ticked about its presence. For the record, the quaint Charleston is so much a better town than Columbia, it hurts to leave there early for this game. There's probably more stuff going on in the 10 blocks that make up the center of town in Charleston than all of South Carolina combined. If you've never visited Charleston, you should. --
