Despite a recent ESPN report, Brown will be evaluated this week to determine if surgery is necessary on a partial meniscus tear that he played on throughout the postseason. Stevens sounded hopeful the All-Star wing will avoid an operation. “He saw obviously our team docs and a couple of other people, and as he even said a couple weeks ago, the knee’s in a good place structurally,” Stevens said. “And so I think he felt comfortable getting out there and going after it. And hopefully he’ll feel better after being off it for a couple weeks here. The unfortunate part is we’re done in the middle of May, but some of these guys who have some nicks, bruises and other things that it’ll be good to get some rest.”
