    UCLA's all Pac-10 guard Malcolm Lee has a slight cartilage tear in his left knee but is not expected to miss any playing time, he said Tuesday.

    Lee, who is averaging 13.2 points a game and is UCLA's top defender, injured his knee during the Bruins' season finale Saturday at Washington State. He had an MRI in Washington and then another when the team returned to Los Angeles on Sunday.

    Lee, a junior who was also named to the conference's all-defensive team, said the injury would probably require surgery after the season but it isn't the type of injury that can get worse if he plays through it. He's experiencing pain and swelling, but wouldn't need to wear a brace to play on it.
