Media outlet: Przybilla eyes mid-November return date

Yahoo Sports! basketball writer Marc Spears tweeted yesterday that Blazers center Joel Przybilla expects to return in mid-November.

Said the tweet verbatim: “Blazers C Joel Pryzbilla (rt knee) had hopes of being ready for season opener, but after talk with doctor today he says return now mid-Nov.”

Przybilla ruptured his right patella last December, re-aggravated it after a fall in the shower last March, but has been practicing with the Blazers for more than a week now, including five-on-five drills.
