New York Knicks basketball player Eddie Curry has been packing on the pounds after some medical injuries, including a bacterial infection and bruised bone in his knee.

His weight gain further complicated his knee issues, making it harder to get back into shape.

“When you’re not playing, you’re not practicing, there’s really nothing you can do,” Curry said, “other than be a vegetarian.”

That’s right, Eddie. Looks like there’s nothing to do but go veg.

After all, vegetarians tend to have lower body weights than non-vegetarians. And some studies have shown people who follow vegetarian diets lose weight more easily than their omnivorous dieting pals.

And Eddie would be in great company of other vegetarian or vegan basketball stars like Salim Stoudamire, Blake Griffin, and John Salley.

Yep, it’s time for Curry to be making some (veggie) curry. He’s exhausted all other possible options.

Oh, yeah.

It’s time celebrate another veggie athlete.

Blake Griffin is expected to be the first pick in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday.

LA is a great place for Blake to reside, since it’s practically the vegetarian and vegan mecca (sharing the title with NYC), so sounds like he’s on the right track, although he got a little side swiped recently.

During a pre-draft meeting, Griffin got treated to dinner at a steakhouse, of all places!

Dude, didn’t they check with the guy first?

We’re sure he practiced good sportmanship and ate his salad without too much sulking.
