DeShawn Stevenson sat out his third consecutive game on Tuesday night with back woes caused by pressure on a nerve, but the Wizards' guard does not want to hear anything about surgery, the Washington Post is reporting.

"It's just a matter of trying to get to the point where I can move without having that shooting pain go down my leg," said Stevenson, who began experiencing problems during training camp. "As long as I don't have to hear anything about surgery, I'm cool. I don't want that."
