Today’s Burning Question: Should the Knicks go after Kenyon Martin, or leave the roster alone?

Martin’s looking for a team. Should the Knicks come calling?

Probably not.

Even with Amare Stoudemire’s injury, the Knicks have the potential to be incredibly deep on the front line.

Kurt Thomas has made an impact in a complementary role in the Knicks’ first three games — all wins.

Today’s Burning Question: Who can the Knicks lean on as a secondary scorer with Amare Stoudemire out?

Last season, Amare Stoudemire was out for a 13-game stretch late in the regular season.

Carmelo Anthony moved from small forward to power forward in Stoudemire’s absence, and took over.

He won the NBA’s Player of the Month award in April by averaging nearly 30 points per game on 49 percent shooting.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Backup center Marcus Camby has a strained left calf and will be out of action for seven to 10 days, the Knicks announced Saturday.

Camby, 38, missed practice Friday with what was called a sore left calf. An MRI revealed the strain.

It’s likely he will miss the Knicks’ first two preseason games on Oct. 11 and 13 against the Wizards and Celtics, respectively.

Amare Stoudemire (sore left ankle) and Chris Smith (sore left knee) are out of Saturday’s practice at the team’s training facility.
