Webster's Surgery

From the Blazers:

WEBSTER UNDERGOES FOOT SURGERY

PORTLAND, Ore. - The Portland Trail Blazers announced that guard Martell Webster underwent surgery today to repair a stress fracture in his left foot. He is expected to be sidelined for 8-10 weeks.

Dr. Jay Crary performed the surgery at Southwest Washington Regional Surgery Center in Vancouver , Wash. As part of the procedure, Webster had a screw inserted into his fifth metatarsal bone.   

The injury occurred during Tuesday night's preseason game against the Sacramento Kings.

It's a bummer because I love how Martell came out in that game, but at least it's early on.  Speedy recovery!

Glad he got the surgery and not just rehab

Lets hope this injury bug is squashed soon.

Speedy recovery to Martell

Good that they fixed it with the screw. Initially that means a little longer recovery and more discomfort, but the probability of a nagging problem and re-injuries a la what a well known former Blazers center went through is much lower.

Does this totally kill the possibility . . . .

 . . . of him getting an extension before the Halloween deadline?
Or does this maybe lower his price, make his camp more amenable to reasonable terms?

Missing Martell already

Very disappointing about Martell’s foot, especially for him. I thnk he is a valuable part of the team and have seen a more well rounded game from him already in the first two games (scrimmage included).

So much hard work and promise, but he can com eback strong.

Martell? Martell? We love you Martell... I love you!

Get well soon. I can’t wait to watch you play. The Blazers are my favorite team.

someone actually got a surgery w/out going to LA?

I thought they were contractually obligated by the NBA to go get surgery in LA since it seems everyone does. Way to feed the local economy Martell!!

have a speedy recovery.

Every child must be encouraged to get as much education as he has the ability to take. We want this not only for his sake-but for the nation's sake. Nothing matters more to the future of our country: not military preparations-for armed might is worthless if we lack the brain power to build a world of peace; not our productive economy-for we cannot sustain growth without trained manpower; not our democratic system of government-for freedom is fragile if citizens are ignorant.

Actually...

I believe most Blazer surgery is done in Vancouver at the SOuthwest Washington medical Center. Roy’s meniscus, Oden’s knee and Martell’s foot were all done there. Not sure about Channing Frye’s ankle surgery.

For some reason

I remember Frye getting it done in California. I could be wrong though.

Sad times for Martell

Although injuries are part of basketball in really hurts at he start of his contract year. He developed a nice chemistry with Rudy in the Sacramento game and I think we all want to see how much better than can take them (as they have only been playing together for a month). Get well soon Martell. I am still rooting for you to return stronger than ever.

I do think Travis will have a better opportunity to determine if he is a starter or a 6th man now.
