How bad has it been this season for the Portland Trail Blazers?

"Now, even our injured players are getting injured,'' lamented Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan before Sunday night's game at Denver.

McMillan got a call Saturday afternoon from athletic trainer Jay Jensen with the news Portland center Joel Przybilla had slipped in the shower earlier in the day at his Milwaukee home. It was confirmed Sunday that Przybilla, who was lost for the season Dec. 22 due to a ruptured patella tendon in his right knee, had re-ruptured that tendon in the mishap and will undergo in a few days his second surgery in 2 ½ months.

"At first Jay called me right before (the Trail Blazers) left (Saturday) for Denver and said, 'You're not going to believe this,''' said McMillan, whose team has been riddled by injuries all season. "I didn't when he said it ... It's been that type of season where we've had this happen. We've just got to keep moving forward.''

Although McMillan and other Trail Blazers officials didn't want to speculate on when Przybilla might be able to return, the injury could be career threatening for Przybilla, 30.

"It's a tough situation,'' said Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby, who was acquired last month from the Los Angeles Clippers to help fill the void due to the injuries to Oden and Przybilla. "They were saying before (that Przybilla's injury) was going to be pretty tough to come back from. But now, after doing it again, hopefully God is on his side and he can make a miraculous comeback. But it's going to take some time.''



really too bad...I always liked Przybilla.  kind of crazy to have that happen in the shower

Thats bad news. Trailblazers must be cursed or something. I hope and pray its not career ending though.

  • Thank you Eddie!
I wonder if the Blazers built one of their arenas under an old Indian burial ground.  This is the unluckiest franchise in the NBA by a lot.

Marcus Camby may have just earned himself another contract

Sorry to hear that about Pryzbilla..I've always liked him.

But hats off to Portland for the moves they have made..bringing in Camby to hold the fort down until Big O comes back was a brilliant move.

If you have a serious knee injury why are you standing in the shower?

Take baths man.

His surgery was over two months ago

Be realistic

I read this story this morning and thought, sometime bad things happen to good people

He has always seemed like a good, hard working guy

Too bad, I wish him hope in his recovery and rehab to return to playing ball
