Sportsline is telling me that Stevenson hurt his knee on Monday and will require surgery:
According to the Orlando Sentinel, DeShawn Stevenson hurt his knee in practice on Monday and he will need surgery at some point.

Obviously, with him out of the lineup, Jameer Nelson once again has the chance to shine. I have [...]

Just a quick update…
After losing in week 1, I was down big in week 2… but thanks to Gilbert Arenas and Rashard Lewis throwing in 40+ each, I was able to storm back and even my record at 1-1. I’m now 6th overall and in the “Power” rankings (weighted by record, points for, and [...]
