NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Knicks said Wednesday new X-rays of Rasheed Wallace's left foot showed a broken bone, and he is expected to miss another eight weeks, possibly ending his comeback season.

The forward will have surgery this week, damaging news for a team that has missed his play off the bench.

Wallace, 38, came out of a two-year retirement to join the Knicks this season and averaged 7.2 points while appearing in 20 of the first 22 games, helping the Knicks get off to a 17-5 start.

He hasn't played since.
