French center Ian Mahinmi has been struggling with knee problems since the beginning of the season and it seems that he will be forced to stay sidelined for six more weeks.
As the Washington Wizards announced, the 30-year-old player will go through treatment on both knees that will keep him out for almost one month and a half.
The announcement is as follows:
Wizards center Ian Mahinmi will undergo PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment on both knees following consultation with Dr. James Andrews and Wizards Head Team Physician Wiemi Douoguih. He is expected to miss approximately six weeks.
Mahinmi underwent surgery to repair a partially torn medial meniscus in his left knee on Oct. 14. During the rehabilitation process, he aggravated patellar tendinitis in his right knee and sustained a bone bruise to his left knee. The PRP treatment will be administered at the Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine in Pensacola, FL.
