Noah Vonleh‘s surgery yesterday will require three to six weeks worth of rehabilitation, which could have some big effects on the battle for the Trail Blazers’ final roster spot. Grant Jerrett was brought in two weeks ago to provide Terry Stotts with another big body for training camp. Since adding the former Arizona big man – Portland has suffered a few setbacks in their frontcourt.
First we learned of Festus Ezeli’s knee injection and now we can add Vonleh’s bone fragment removal to the same list. This means that the Trail Blazers will only have three returning post players at full strength when training camp kicks off at the end of the month.
