Grant Hill undergoes knee procedure, draws interest from Lakers and others

Grant Hill won't be retiring just yet. The 39-year-old forward, whose early career was derailed by injuries, intends to keep playing into next season after undergoing a special procedure on his knee, according to a tweet from ESPN's Ric Bucher

The procedure involves spinning the patient's own blood until the platelets that are responsible for the body's natural healing mechanisms can be separated and re-introduced into the affected area. The procedure has been credited with extending Kobe Bryant's career, and that of a few other professional athletes.
