Heatley’s knee injuries ‘not good’
All-Star MVP from Atlanta might miss
entire season; agent says he wasn’t drunk

ATLANTA, Oct. 3 — Already facing felony charges for a high-speed crash that left a teammate in a coma, Atlanta Thrashers All-Star Dany Heatley learned Friday that he will require knee surgery.

AN MRI CONFIRMED the seriousness of the injury. Heatley will need surgery to repair the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee.

The Thrashers wouldn’t say that Heatley is out for the season, but it’s clear he faces a lengthy rehabilitation.

“Anytime you’re talking about the knee and you have surgery, it’s not good,” general manager Don Waddell said during an exhibition game between the Thrashers and Nashville Predators.
