Chandler Parsons had “minor hybrid” microfracture knee surgery

The procedure that Dallas Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons had on his right knee on May 1 was a "minor hybrid" microfracture operation, according to sources.

Parsons, who averaged 15.7 points per game in his first campaign with the Mavs last season, has not been fully cleared for the beginning of training camp but remains optimistic that he will be able to play in the Mavs' Oct. 28 season opener.
