Brandon Roy to have knee surgery this week
Brandon Roy - G/F - Minnesota Timberwolves
Nov. 19, 2012 - 3:15 AM ET
Brandon Roy will undergo arthroscopic right knee surgery this week, the seventh knee surgery of his career.
Roy fatefully banged his knee in the Wolves' final preseason game, which led to ongoing soreness and caused him to miss the past four games. His upcoming surgery is another sad if predictable chapter in his NBA career, and could very well signal the end of his season, if not his career. With Roy, Chase Budinger and Ricky Rubio all out with knee surgeries, the Wolves are forced to rely on rookie Alexey Shved and creaky veteran Josh Howard.
