Speedy Claxton, who signed a four-year deal worth $25 million with the Atlanta Hawks in July 2006 and is facing microfracture surgery, will miss the rest of the season due to an injury to his left knee according to a published report..

Claxton is "contemplating his next step" and hasn't made a decision about whether or not he will have the surgery that could help extend his NBA career, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

"This is something you have to think through before doing anything one way or the other," Claxton told the paper.

Claxton has not played a game this season and only appeared in 42 games last year. He received the recommendation for microfracture surgery from noted sports surgeon Dr. Richard Steadman, according to the Journal-Constitution.
Hasn't played any this year anyway, but still could of helped them when he came back. Turns out that this deal has turned into a bust for the Hawks. This also means Law will continue to get more minutes :)

I'm happy to see Law get more minutes. I know he can do well.

Atleast Law will get more minutes...
Any Hawk fans would you guys do Flip Murray for a '08 draft pick?
