Rookie Danilo Gallinari did not travel with the Knicks on their two-game road
trip, staying behind to have a battery of tests on his back to rule out
possible surgery, according to a team source.

The source said an MRI will be among the tests performed on the 20-year-old,
who has suffered from a bulging disc since mid-July. The pain level in the
Italian Stallion's lower back and leg increased the past few days, causing
growing concern among the team's medical staff that new treatment may be
needed for the 6-foot-10 forward from Milan, who was selected sixth overall
in this year's draft.

The source said a new diagnosis is not expected, but the increased level of
pain is a bad sign and could imperil Gallinari's season. Coach Mike D'Antoni
took Gallinari out of the rotation after the second game because of
ineffective play, but hoped to eventually spot him in.

Gallinari injured his back during the Las Vegas summer league and did not
play again until more than three months later. He said upon his return he
still was playing with a modest level of pain, but was encouraged it wasn't
getting worse.

However, the pain forced Gallinari to miss yesterday's practice. And the
source said the rookie never boarded the plane for San Antonio. D'Antoni said
Gallinari had suffered "a setback."

David Lee did not practice yesterday and told The Post he has been suffering
from a bone spur in his ankle for three weeks. Lee said he will play through
the pain and the spur is too small to require surgery
