On Thursday morning, Kenyon Martin is scheduled to have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

"What I'm hearing is it's not that bad," said Martin, comparing his upcoming knee surgery to the previous one. "It's not microfracture surgery. I've got to keep telling myself that to keep me sane.

"I want to play and get out there," Martin said. "But if things ain't right, than that's not what I want to go through again. If I'm healthy and I feel good, I'm going to be back out there as soon as possible."
