Despite his injury and need for surgery, Pendergraph was formally signed by the Blazers yesterday. The tentative timeline reported above would put Pendergraph's return in late November/early December, forecasting a sooner-than-rumored return.  Coincidentally, the NBA Developmental League begins play the last week of November so this could work out pretty well for everyone.
