PHOENIX (AP) — Grant Hill has undergone what the Phoenix Suns labeled a “successful procedure” to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.
The team said in a news release announcing Friday’s 30-minute procedure that, if Hill’s rehabilitation goes well, he should return before the end of the regular season.
The medial meniscus tear was discovered when the 39-year-old forward underwent an MRI on Thursday. He had been sidelined for two games because of inflammation in the knee.
Hill is the NBA’s second-oldest player, one day younger than Kurt Thomas. He is averaging 10.7 points per game as is considered the Suns’ best defensive player.
