Injury curse hits Blazers again
Portland Trailblazer centre Joel Przybilla has gone down with a major injury. Przybilla sustained a ruptured right patella tendon and dislocated patella in the first quarter of Tuesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks.
IMO this will probably just about end his season due to the serious nature of the injury. Przybilla's injury comes on the back of the fact the Blazers entered the game against Dallas with just 11 fit team members, with the following players unavailable due to injury:
- Greg Oden (knee) - out the season
- Travis Outlaw (left foot)
- Nicolas Batum (right shoulder)
- Patrick Mills (right foot)
- Rudy Fernandez (back pain)

And to cap it all off, coach Nate McMillan ruptured his right Achilles' tendon on 7 December!
One senses the trade for a big man that became a possibility when Oden went down for the season, has now become a necessity with Przybilla out for at least a few months as well.
So which of their guard's gets traded to make way?
