Multiple doctors have tried convincing Roy to retire due to an ongoing battle with arthritis in his knee, Roy said, according to Jason Quick of The Oregonian.

It's hard to keep track of how many operations Roy has had on his knees over the years, but this latest one is a result of the lingering arthritis that has advanced to Level III.

"Level IV," Roy said, "Is when you get a knee replacement."

Roy's quest for a comeback will likely end sooner rather than later. This latest surgery seems to be delaying the inevitable. The degenerative problem in his knee will eventually take away his ability to compete in the NBA.

Whether that's this year or in the not-so-distant future, Roy is playing on borrowed time.

The Timberwolves can't expect from Roy to play extensive minutes.... I say don't play him even if he supposedly recovers from surgery and wait till later on in the season and see if they are making it to the playoffs.... If they do make it to the playoffs then they should play Roy during the playoffs as he would be a great asset for them at that time... If not then play him the last few games of the season.... Anyways I do believe there is a very big opportunity that Roy will retire by next summer... How Portland's medical staff screwed Roy over with their bad decision making a few years back has forever affected his medical condition and there's nothing he can do about it unfortunately.

Brandon Roy has been practicing but in a no contact manner and is very limited. Roy told the press that retirement at this point is not in his plans.

He's done like many times before. Not sure why he is still forcing things. Got to love the passion but at some point you have to be smart and think about life.

And it's not like the Twolves need him. They are already capable in that SG-PG spot.
