"The Celtics released a statement today saying forward Leon Powe had surgery on his injured left knee this morning. The Celtics said that Powe “underwent successful ACL revision reconstruction with microfracture and cartilage repair at New England Baptist Hospital this morning.” The Celtics have set no timetable for Powe’s recovery. It is the third major knee surgery for the 25-year-old Powe, who will become an unrestriced free agent this summer (Boston Herald)."
Powe would have been a mid first round pick if it wasn't for his bad knees that plagued him while playing for Cal. It was heart breaking to see a guy who tries to hard to go down like this. I don't know what he will be like when he gets back, but Rivers has come out and said that he wants the Celtics to bring back Powe. He obviously can't ask for a lot, so the Celtics might be able to do this. Still you have to feel terrible for this kid, because he was really starting to make a name for himself. We will keep you updated when we find out some kind of timetable for his recovery.
