Chandler Parsons may need to undergo microfracture surgery on his right knee. There remains a possibility that the cartilage damage could be repaired with arthroscopic surgery.

Parsons would miss the beginning of next season if he undergoes microfracture surgery.

Parsons, who the Dallas Mavericks Mavs signed to a three-year, $46 million contract as a restricted free agent last season, missed the final six games of the regular season due to soreness and swelling in his right knee.
