New Jersey Nets guard Jason Kidd was re-evaluated today on the status of his surgically repaired left knee. According to the Nets' medical staff in consultation with Dr. David Altchek of the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, Jason has been cleared to start the on-court phase of his rehabilitation regiment, which is confined to individual non-contact activity several days a week. This rehabilitation does not include any contact scrimmaging with the team. There is no timetable for his return to the active roster.

Kidd had micro-fracture surgery on his left knee performed by Dr. Altchek on July 1, 2004.
