Beverley may avoid surgery, expects to return this season

Rockets guard Pat Beverley said he will see Dr. James Andrews on Monday, but added that surgery has not been recommended to remove part of his torn meniscus in his initial conversations with Andrews or in conversations with Rockets doctors.

Beverley, who left Thursday’s game after he “knocked knees,” said he could be out 10 to 14 days or up to four weeks and that he “for sure” believes he will play this season.
