NBA Note - Phoenix Suns Knight, Brandon
G Brandon Knight underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his
left knee on Friday, the team announced.

NBA Note - Cleveland Cavaliers Thomas, Isaiah
G Isaiah Thomas was examined in Cleveland on Friday and
apparently there are questions about his recovery from a
postseason hip injury. Cavaliers officials are looking at the
test results, ESPN.com reported, and how it might affect the
trade that shipped Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics earlier
this week. There is speculation that the condition of his
injured hip could void the deal. Tuesday's trade included Jae
Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first-round
draft pick going to the Cavaliers for Irving. There's also the
possibility that rather than voiding the deal the Cavaliers
could ask for additional compensation such as another draft
pick. Thomas suffered the injury during the playoffs this year
and is rehabbing the hip. ESPN reported that he has not begun
running. Celtics general manager Danny Ainge acknowledged that
the hip injury played a factor in the Celtics seeking the trade.
