I am obviously disappointed. I was looking forward to getting back on the floor with my teammates, but I've learned that this is the best way to get me back and ready to play.

It might make sense. I still haven't made a decision either way. But it's one of those things where the length of my career is more important. That's what I'm looking at.

Right now it's just precautionary. I want to be pain-free and ready to go all out when the season starts.

The leg feels a lot better than it did six months ago. I came into the preseason with a different mind-set. I'm not looking at this like it's a normal preseason. I know I'm not going to play a lot of minutes so I want to go out there and make the most of the minutes I get.

It was a great thrill being a part of the whole thing. You have to take your hat off to a guy like that to dedicate his life to his country. To go back after doing your time says a lot.

It just felt good to get back out there after being out action for so long. The knee feels great and I was able to go out there and get into a little bit of a groove tonight.
