Matt Harpring wants to continue playing in the NBA, but the decision isn't his alone.

"I would love to play (this season)," Harpring told FanHouse. "I would love to play until I'm 50."

The forward is scheduled to have his Jazz physical on Monday, and doctors will have a large say in whether or not his career continues.

"We'll see once I get up there," Harpring added. "We'll have some MRIs and I'll talk to (doctors)... There's been talk over the past couple of years of whether I'm going to play (the next season)."

He has had more surgeries during his time in the NBA than he can even remember.

"I've had two micofractures on four different spots," recalled Harpring, saying he's had two microfracture surgeries and two arthroscopic surgeries on his right knee alone. "I've had probably 15 surgeries on (both) ankles... Well, maybe 10 or 11."
