(CBS/AP) PORTLAND,
Ore. - The
Trail Blazers will not converse reports that All-Star watch Brandon Roy plans
to seek medical departure because of his knees.
Roy was named the NBA’s Rookie
of the Year in 2007 after averaging 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and
4.0 assists. One season later he completes his first All-Star game, and two
seasons later he was named to the All-NBA Second Team. It was the first time a
Blazers player had earned All-NBA honors since Clyde
Drexler in 1991-92.
Roy, a five-year experienced person who helped the
team shed its "Jail Blazers" reputation, has been determined by knee
injuries and surgeries. The 27-year-old has said he lacks cartilage stuck
between the bones in both knees.
The reports contradict statements ready on Monday during
a news conference with Blazers President Larry Miller, Coach Nate McMillan and
acting general manager Chad
Buchanan. Roy
had met with team officials earlier in the day and said he felt good and was prepared
to help the team in any technique he could.
