GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Knicks point guard Jason Kidd will sit out of Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic with a sore lower back.
Mike Woodson said Kidd's back is "just sore" and that, if needed, the 39-year-old point guard could play against Orlando.
"We're being cautious and we're just taking it a day at a time," Woodson said.
Kidd's lower back has flared up in recent days. He sat out of the Knicks' optional practice last Friday after feeling soreness following a win in Boston the previous day. He also left the bench in the second half of weekend games against Philadelphia and Atlanta to get treatment and rest his back.

Leonard is always in the right spot to finish the play. Amazing basketball IQ at 21. Some guys in the draft are older than him. Man ...

Chris Bosh said before Game 6 that we won't leave Danny Green open. I think he meant to say Kawhi Leonard.
