DALLAS — Entering the 2015-16 campaign with concerns about his right knee after undergoing a hybrid microfracture surgery last offseason, Dallas Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons again will admittedly face another uphill climb this summer following a second straight injury-shortened season.
Last season, the 6-foot-10 Parsons hoped to make the most of his first campaign with the Mavericks after signing a reported three-year deal worth $46 million to join the team following three previous seasons with the rival Houston Rockets. However, after being plagued by nagging injuries throughout the grueling 82-game schedule, Parsons found his ’14-15 season cut short after Game 1 of the Mavs’ first-round series against Houston while requiring surgery to repair cartilage damage in his right knee.
