BOSTON - Paul Pierce talked to a few reporters on Monday at his annual summer basketball camp at Basketball City just around the corner from the TD Banknorth Garden on Monday, and said that he'll be getting an MRI on his knee but doesn't expect to have to undergo surgery.
Pierce said the knee is still sore, but is getting better, and noted that he's been treating his injury "like a sprain that normally takes three-four weeks."
"I've still got some soreness in it, so hopefully it's nothing major requiring surgery," Pierce said. "I plan on getting in there this week, getting the treatment and the MRI and making sure I take care of my body. I doubt if I need any surgery. It's getting better and better. I'm gonna get the MRI just to take the extra precaution but I don't see any surgery in my future and I just plan on getting treatment until it's all the way healed."

I don’t get it. Why hasn’t the MRI been done? If they DO find anything that needs surgery, he will have lost three weeks recovery time.

Does Pierce have health insurance, or what? I hear it’s mandatory in Massachusetts now. Why didn’t he get the MRI as soon as the playoff ended?

I agree. Don’t understand the hold-up.

He wanted to party in Vegas and LA before taking care of the knee.
