NEW YORK -- Count Tyson Chandler among those who wants to see Marcus Camby come back for the Knicks today against the Lakers.

"Absolutely," Chandler said Sunday after the team beat the Wolves before it headed out on a three-game West Coast swing. "We need him. We need him right now. We're short bigs and I could use him."

The 6-11 Camby has missed 12 games with what the team is calling a "sore left foot," but has been reported as plantar fasciitis.
