Swift on the mend
Robert Swift, who hasn't played since Nov. 11, said he'll learn today if he's going to play Saturday against New York. The Sonics center, who underwent right knee surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament on Oct. 25, 2006, suffered a setback in November and has missed the past 39 games due to knee tendinitis.
"I'm feeling way better than I did in November," said Swift, who has been practicing with the team the past few days. "There's no pain or swelling in the knee after I work out. I'm ready to go."
Swift reduced his body fat from 15 percent at the start of the season to 10 and has dropped his weight to 270 pounds. He'll be limited to 12 to 15 minutes in the first few games of his return.

So it looks like Rob will be available pretty soon. I really hope that he's alright and won't suffer any setbacks, cause he's had way to many of them already.
