Already with a bone bruise on his left hand, Raymond Felton revealed he now has a bone bruise on his right hand.
And last night he had something of a bruised ego as his predecessor, Jeremy Lin, ran roughshod over the Knicks in the Rockets’ embarrassing 109-96 conquest at the Garden — the second time Houston has beaten the Knicks this season.
“He had a good game,’’ Felton said. “I never talked junk about Jeremy. Everything I’ve said about Jeremy, he deserved everything he got.’’
Felton refused to sit out after bruising his right hand against the Lakers. He said that’s giving him more discomfort now than the left hand he injured 2 1/2 weeks ago.
As Lin went for 22 points and eight assists, Felton sputtered to a 7-of-18 shooting night — 0-for-4 from 3-point range — with three turnovers and four assists.
Felton had trouble keeping Lin in front of him.
“When he gets it to his right hand, he’s good at exploding,’’ Felton said.
* Marcus Camby told The Post he will get a cortisone injection today and plans to return Friday against the Bulls. Camby missed his ninth straight game last night with plantar fasciitis.
* Carmelo Anthony elected to save his sprained left ankle for Brooklyn tomorrow rather than face the Rockets, missing another big game. Anthony also missed the key game in Miami nearly two weeks ago with a cut finger.
Durability was an issue last season for Anthony, who has missed four of the Knicks’ first 24 games this season. He was termed a game-time decision yesterday morning, but he told coach Mike Woodson during the team’s film session he didn’t believe his ankle was 100 percent. Anthony also didn’t participate in the morning shootaround, staying back in the trainer’s room for more treatment. The Knicks are 2-2 without Anthony, who also sat out the the last-second Cleveland victory.
