The Trailblazers have lost starting center Joel Przybilla for the year due to a ruptured patella tendon and a dislocated patella (knee). He played in 30 games (9 starts) for the Trailblazers this season and he averaged 22.7 minutes, 4.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 1.4 blocked shots per game. The Trailblazers will probably get on the phones trying to make a deal with Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla both out for the rest of the year. Juwan Howard will likely move into the starting line-up for now. He has played in 22 games (0 starts) for the Blazers this season and he is averaging 13.1 minutes, 3.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Howard will likely wear out as he is a little long in tooth. Anthony Tolliver will likely back up Howard and he has only played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Blazers this season and he is averaging 2.0 minutes, 0.0 points and 0.5 rebounds per game. This is a big blow to the Trailblazers who will need to make a deal soon.
