Chandler Parsons is undergoing surgery on his right knee for a meniscus tear but he could return this season.

Parsons left in the third quarter of Friday's loss to Golden State with what the team said was right hamstring soreness. 

The injury isn't considered as serious as the one that knocked Parsons out of the first round of the playoffs last season.

Parsons could resume basketball activities within six weeks, which means he could be available when the playoffs start in mid-April.
