Florida's Harvey sidelined for season
Elbow surgery next career in jeopardy for Marlins closer
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Bryan Harvey's season is over, his career in jeopardy.
The Florida Marlins' $4.5 million closer will be sidelined the rest of the year with a torn ligament in his pitching elbow that requires reconstructive surgery, the team said yesterday.
The operation is similar to the procedure that saved pitcher Tommy John's career in 1974. The prognosis for recovery from such injuries is uncertain, Marlins manager Rene Lachemann said.
The 31-year-old Harvey, who pitched only 10 1-3 innings last year because of injuries, had trouble with his right elbow in three of the past four seasons. He lasted just 11 pitches in his first appearance of 1995 before leaving Saturday's game at San Francisco with pain in the elbow.
"They're all different," Lachemann said. "It depends how much damage is in there when they operate."
"You don't take him out of a game unless something is very serious," Lachemann said. "And that was the case."
Lewis Yocum of Ingelwood, Calif.
diagnosed the injury and will perform surgery tomorrow or Thursday. Players such as Jose Canseco and Frank Viola have undergone the same procedure in which a tendon is transplanted to replace the torn ligament.
Yocum also was the surgeon the last time Harvey underwent an elbow operation in August 1992. He came back to post 45 saves with a 1.70 ERA for the expansion Marlins in 1993.
"I don't know what we would have done without him that first year," Lachemann said. "We might have set a record for the most losses in baseball. He made me seem a lot smarter."
Last season Harvey spent three stints on the disabled list, two because of a sore elbow, and underwent abdominal surgery July 14. Doctors suspected that a groin injury had contributed to his elbow problems.
Harvey said he felt healthy this spring and was the subject of trade rumors involving the Cleveland Indians.
The Marlins placed Harvey on the disabled list and recalled pitcher Richie Lewis from Charlotte. Lewis spent the past two seasons with Florida.
Right-hander Robb Nen, who had 15 saves in as many chances last year, will replace Harvey as the team's closer.
Knicks use Cavs' style to take lead in series
New York turns Cleveland's slow game to own advantage The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — The New York Knicks won it Cleveland-style.
"The way that team plays, they're going to make you play this type of game," John Starks said Monday night after the Knicks edged the Cavaliers 83-81 in a brutal game that featured 74 foul shots.
The Knicks took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-5 series and can wrap it up by winning Thursday night at Gund Arena.
The Knicks felt lucky to have won because they blew the coverage on Ferry, who had hit two 3-pointers earlier in the half.
Cleveland's Danny Ferry had a chance to win it at the end, but his open 3-pointer from beyond the top of the key slid off the rim as the horn sounded.
"There was a lack of communication on our part on the last play, and it could have cost us dearly," Knicks coach Pat Riley said. "We're fortunate it didn't burn us."
The Cavs had called timeout trailing 83-81 with 7.8 seconds left after Starks made 1 of 2 foul shots. Mark Price and Ferry then set up a two-man game at the top of the key, Price taking defenders Derek Harper and Anthony Mason with him, leaving Ferry alone.
Ferry took the return pass, squared up and fired from the right
side, but it wasn't to be.
you want to switch, but Mase (Mason) didn't call it, so I didn't switch," Harper said. "I'm just glad he missed it."
New York has won its last six road games against the Cavs, including all three at new Gund Arena.
"There's no such thing as a disappointing win this time of year," Harper said. "We have more momentum now, and hopefully we'll bring the proper game in on Thursday to close the series out."
Every shot and pass was contested by the two teams ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in defense in the NBA this year, in a game that crawled at the slow pace the Cavs have used all season.
Thirteen of the Knicks' last 17 points came from the line, the only field goals during that span coming on consecutive reverse layups by Mason.
Cleveland, meanwhile, went scoreless from the field for nearly eight minutes, sinking 10 of 12 free throws during the drought.
The halftime score — Cleveland leading 38-37 — could almost have been mistaken for a first-quarter score, a sure sign the Cavs had the pace the way they like it.
Price had nine each in the first half for Cleveland.
Price's fourth point of the game, a foul shot late in the first quarter, made him the leading scorer in Cavs' playoff history with 783 points, surpassing Brad Daugherty's 782.
