Brandon Bass says surgery an option

After practice on Sunday, Magic power forward Brandon Bass told the Sentinel that he might need arthroscopic surgery if his left knee doesn’t improve.

“I might need to get it scoped, be out a few weeks,” Bass said. “I don’t know. We’ll see.”

Bass said he came down on his left in the second quarter of the game against the New York Knicks onThursday night and “heard a pop.”

Bass said his knee has been sore and has had some swelling since then.

He has missed the last two practices, sitting out Friday and Sunday.

Bass said he underwent an MRI and could determine after Monday morning’s shootaround whether he might need surgery.

The Magic face Golden State on Monday night at Amway Center.

If Bass can not play, Ryan Anderson will start at power forward.
