TUALATIN, Ore. -- Portland Trail Blazers captain Scottie Pippen will miss at least 10 days of practice with swelling in his right knee.
He had surgery on the knee in June to have bone chips removed and needed another operation because of an infection.
The 37-year-old Pippen, ordered to skip practice by team orthopedist Don Roberts, might miss all of training camp. He also could be sidelined for the Oct. 30 season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Pippen doesn't think the injury is career-threatening.
"It's not like there is any major damage that has to heal,'' he said. "Really, I'm just hoping that no more fluid goes back into the knee. If that stays away, then things will work out.'' |
