sounds like the meniscus tear is relatively small. on edit: PARSONS with a second S. sorry about that. http://www.nba.com/2016/news/03/22/chandler-parsons-knee-surgery-may-return-ap.ap/index.html?cid=nbacomsocial_fb_sf22981176
Reads like a Press Release from Fegan. Like, this part doesn't make sense, expect for an agent trying to spin something, even if it requires incorrect math "Parsons could resume basketball activities within six weeks, which means he could be available when the playoffs start in mid-April. There are roughly three weeks left in the regular season." Uh, "six weeks" from now is May 4th, not mid-April. By then, we were already playing the Clippers, last year. Someone doesn't realize the playoffs start the first Saturday after the last game, which is a Wednesday. And "resume bball activities" does not mean "available to play", anyhow.
Sources: Meniscus tear is so minimal that teammates were told Parsons' surgery should only take 0.7 seconds.
This is just like when they said Pat could come back next yr...just fishing for an attractive headline. I wouldn't be surprised if he rushed it thought...he's already shown poor judgment in this area last year AND again this yr. I'm sure he'd like the Mavs to advance so he could come back and raise his stock some before deciding to opt out or not.
