Przybilla to undergo MRI Wednesday night; meniscus tear possible Blazers center Joel Przybilla underwent another MRI exam on his sore left knee Wednesday night after pain continued to persist, and Przybilla said team trainers told him he is displaying signs of a tear in his meniscus cartilage. Przybilla injured the knee last week against the Los Angeles Lakers when it locked up while he was defending Lakers center Andrew Bynum. Blazers trainers popped the joint back into place in the locker room, and an initial MRI showed no structural damage. But while the swelling has decreased, the pain has persisted and Przybilla said it flares up when he squats down or makes other motions that put added stress on the joint. If it is a meniscus tear, then you have to figure arthroscopic surgery is the next step and there is a very good chance that it would sideline Przybilla for the rest of the season. And while many have complained that his production has been minimal this year, look at how Memphis and Seattle were able to drive and finish at the basket more efficiently than in past games, when opponents would often kick out after a drive. Blazers coach Nate McMillan said it's unquestionably due to Przybilla's absense. "For us I think it's been huge," McMillan said, "because a lot of people look at his numbers and say, 'Well, he's not doing this.' He did some things for us that we don't have someone else doing: Clogging and setting the tone for our defense and giving us those 18, 19 minutes to start the quarters off has made a huge difference. He was a great, really our best screener as far as getting out on our pick-and-roll sets and getting hits. So that's missing. It forces someone to all of a sudden go from, you know, Jamaal, from backing up to starting. So I think we miss what he brings to the floor. "Joel kind of set the tone during the quarters to defend that (dribble penetration). And I really feel that his teammates saw what he was doing and brought that in. We miss him, but we may be missing him for a while." http://www.thecolumbian.com/sports/blazerbanter MRI显示有可能是膝盖半月板受伤， 如果确定的话那就要动手术，整个球季也会因此报销， 虽然球季只剩下没几场，虽然Przybilla是个玻璃人随时都有可能受伤， 但听到Przybilla又报销的消息不免让人失望。 他NBA生涯几乎都在伤病和报销中度过，今年一样是伤病连连... 虽然现在拓荒者需要他的防守，但该动手术就去动吧，身体健康最重要！ 希望他能早日康复！ 另外之前有看到Magloire对他自己目前处境满失望的， 我猜他可能约满之後会另谋出路，应该不会和球队续约。 所以Przybilla受伤的另一个定义可能是球队会把今年选秀的目标放在PF/C上面， 毕竟他这样一直伤下去也不是办法... （另外，今年FA没什麽好中锋可以签的，交易的话好用一点的中锋人家说不定不肯放） 而且禁区只剩Randolph和Aldridge、LaFrentz(他也是颗不定时炸弹)可能会爆掉 囧rz -- #35 Kevin Durant |G-F College Team:Texas Height: 6-10 Weight: 204 lbs.
