Sidelined Nuggets' McDyess to undergo surgery Friday
DENVER (AP) -- Antonio McDyess, the Denver Nuggets' leading scorer the past two seasons, is scheduled to have knee surgery Friday that could sideline him for three months. McDyess has not practiced since last Thursday because of patella tendinitis in his left knee. An MRI showed he has a partial tear of his patella tendon and a mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament. McDyess, an All-Star forward who averaged 20.8 points and 12.1 rebounds last season, missed 10 games late in the season with a partially dislocated left kneecap. He spent much of the offseason trying to rehabilitate the injury. The 6-foot-9 forward, a member of the gold-medal winning U.S. Olympic team, made his first All-Star appearance last season. The Nuggets did not estimate how long he would be out, but McDyess said this week that surgery could keep him out for three months.
