Suns swingman Mickael Pietrus to have minor knee surgery

[insidehoops]

The Arizona Republic reports: Suns swingman Mickael Pietrus will undergo minor right knee surgery Tuesday, and as a result will not follow through with plans to play for France in the European Championship starting Aug. 31. Pietrus missed the final 12 games of the season because of a quadriceps-tendon strain near the same knee, an issue that seemed to start when he landed after an attempted blocked shot on March 23.

Don't teams usually take care of stuff like this? So does he pay for it himself now?

if he pays it himself, he could probably afford it.

He's a good bench player and defender, go away.
