Leon Powe Has Successful Knee Surgery

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Celtics forward Leon Powe had his knee surgery Tuesday.

The Celtics released a statement saying Powe "underwent successful ACL revision reconstruction with microfracture and cartilage repair at New England Baptist Hospital this morning."

"The surgery was preformed by Celtics Team Physician, Dr. Brian McKeon and was assisted by Dr. Paul Weitzel and Dr. John Richmond."

The Celtics said there is no timetable set for Powe's return.

Powe tore the left knee ligament in the second game of the Celtics-Bulls playoff series April 20.

He hurt himself on a spin move but stayed on the court three more minutes trying to play.
