Joel Pryzbilla Should Stay Away From Slippery Showers


There are some NBA fans who believe that the Portland Trail Blazers are cursed after not drafting Michael Jordan in 1984. Usually, I'm not one of those people who believes in these sort of things but this story makes it a little more believable.

Portland center Joel Przybill re-injured his right knee over the weekend while slipping in his shower. Yep, you heard right, he slipped in his shower.

We get more from Oregon Live:

Trail Blazers center Joel Przybilla on Saturday reinjured his surgically-repaired right knee and will require another surgery, the team said Sunday.

Przybilla reinjured the knee Saturday morning when he slipped while entering the shower at his home in Milwaukee, Wisc.

He flew to Portland on Saturday and had a magnetic resonance imaging test Sunday morning at the office of team doctor Don Roberts. The MRI showed a tear of the patella tendon that was repaired.

Przybilla, 30, ruptured his right patella tendon in a Dec. 22 game at Dallas. He was 10 weeks post-operation and had just started to walk without a brace.
There are so many punch-lines to end this sort of story but I'm going to do my best not to weasle my way into any of them.

On the other hand, what if he thought Norman Bates was behind him?
