"Suns swingman Grant Hill will not deny that the soreness in his right quadriceps tendon likely is related to his September right knee surgery in some way.

Hill also will not deny himself the notion that it will not bother him again moving forward. Hill suffered the injury Thursday morning during a shootaround and had swelling in the knee by game time that night. He left that loss to Cleveland early because of the soreness in the tendon, which connects to the kneecap. Hill did not play Friday night before returning to action in Sunday night's game at San Antonio.

Hill's surgery was not related to the quad tendon. A piece of cartilage was loose in his kneecap, exposing a tiny portion of the bone."
