I'm going to get a doctor's note. For me, it keeps down the swelling during the game. Believe me, tights are not something that I choose to wear because of fashion.

It's something to keep you warm. It keeps my knee from swelling up, keeps some tightness around it so it won't blow up on me when I'm out there. It's meant a lot to me.

I was averaging 22 points per game before I got to Philly and nobody was saying anything about my knee, ... So it's not a knee thing. I had a two-year injury and I've been working real hard to get back. That's nothing new to me.

I heard the boos at the game, but you've got to understand -- I wanted to boo, too. I felt them. I don't take that personal, man. ... The booing doesn't bother me. I've been in the league 12 years and, like I said, I wanted to boo my damn self.

Dennis was already struggling with her knee. It keeps swelling up on her. When she came off the floor (Monday), that's what I thought it was. Turns out it was her ankle. I wanted to scream myself. Dennis is one of the main ingredients in the whole system. It's going to hurt to be without her.

We were obviously concerned after the game, but he has very little swelling, and our guys feel encouraged.
