Bazemore says knee feels ‘pretty good’ but will be monitored

Kent Bazemore said his ailing right knee feels good after returning to the court following a two-game absence.

Bazemore missed two games with a sore right knee after an MRI exam showed no structural damage. The starting wing came off the bench and had five points, on 2-of-9 shooting, and three rebounds in 15 minutes of a 131-120 loss to the Magic on Tuesday.

“It feels pretty good,” Bazemore said after Wednesday’s practice. “I think the rest was everything. Even taking a day off after the game when I wasn’t doing anything, it felt a lot better. We are still monitoring it. There are still restrictions here and there. Just taking it a day at a time.”
