Reports surfaced on SI.com on Saturday that Celtics' forward Paul Pierce will need knee surgery after the season, according to The Los Angeles Daily News.

Pierce reportedly "has at least partially torn his meniscus and that he may need surgery when the Finals are over."

However, Pierce claims the rumors are untrue.

"Man, you get the news faster than I do," Pierce said. "It's still the same from the time I hurt it. I really don't know how bad it is. I won't know until we end this thing. That's why I hope I don't get hurt, and we end it (today), and then we'll see."

"But no one has said anything about surgery. I haven't got the MRI or the X-ray, so we'll see after the season," he added.
