<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Clippers swingman Corey Maggette on Thursday will undergo an arthroscopic procedure to alleviate the intermittent pain he suffered in his right knee during the 2006-07 season. The condition, although bothersome, did not result in any lost playing time for Maggette during the year. Clippers? team physician Dr. Tony Daly, assisted by Dr. Steven Shimoyama, will perform the surgery at the Center for Ambulatory Surgical Treatment (C.A.S.T) in Westwood, California. In 75 games played on the season, Maggette averaged 16.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.</div> I beliebe this is the same surgery where player never play the same again - Allan Houston, Antonio McDyess, Grant Hill, etc. Amare Stoudemire had it and although he's recovered well, he underwent the surgery when he was younger (around 22 or 23) and he's not as explosive as he used to be. Clearly athleticism has been lost. For someone like Maggette who frequently explodes to the basket, he can't afford to lose most of his athleticism.
