OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 22 -- Golden State Warriors leading scorer Antawn Jamison will miss the remainder of the season after he underwent exploratory arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday in Los Angeles.
A team spokesman said doctors did not find any major damage in Jamison's knee.
Jamison, 23, said Sunday that he could be sidelined for just two weeks, but admitted it also was possible that he may miss the rest of the season.
The Warriors have been building their team around Jamison, a 6-9, 223-pound forward in his second season, and second-year player Larry Hughes, who was acquired in a three-team trade last week.
Jamison is averaging a team-best 19.6 points and 8.4 rebounds in 43 games with the Warriors this season. He was selected fourth by Toronto in 1999 and then traded to Golden State for Vince Carter, the fifth pick and his former college teammate at North Carolina.
