AUBURN HILLS – All indications are that Jason Kidd is headed for surgery on his aching left knee.

While the team maintained that nothing has been determined, several league sources claimed Kidd is prepared to have a procedure on the knee next week.

“There’s nothing now,” said Nets CEO Rod Thorn. “If anything develops we’ll address it at the proper time.”

Kidd’s knee forced him to miss 15 games last season and severely limited his game in the playoffs, especially the Eastern semis against Detroit.
