The Miami Heat’s point guard Goran Dragic underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Wednesday for what was described as a swollen right knee. The Heat announced the 45-minute surgery was to “clean up his knee.” The point guard had been dealing with a lingering problem throughout the season that caused swelling in his right knee.

Two weeks ago, Dragic underwent a small procedure to have the fluid drained from his knee, but the pain and swelling returned. It’s not clear what the problem is and the odds of surgery helping.  If there are degenerative changes in the knee, arthroscopic surgery might not be better than simulated arthroscopic surgery. 

As reported, the procedure should sideline Dragic for two months, but will provide a more thorough fix to the problem.
