Chandler Parsons probably needs arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, a procedure that would force him to miss the remainder of the season, a source said.
The Mavericks' forward has been diagnosed with a meniscus tear that needs to be surgically corrected.
He is expected to get a second opinion, but assuming the procedure is needed, it will mean both of Parsons' first two seasons in Dallas ended prematurely with right knee problems.
