The Blazers may be missing their 9th pick in the 2014 draft, forward Noah Vonleh, for training camp at the end of the month. After undergoing a procedure to remove a bone fragment in his right thigh, the Indiana product will miss 3-4 weeks in order to recover. Per Blazers PR:
Portland Trail Blazers forward Noah Vonleh underwent a successful procedure to remove a bone fragment from his right thigh musculature today.
Dr. Evan Ellis performed the procedure at Rebound in Vancouver, Wash., and the expected recovery time is 3-4 weeks.
Vonleh will be a key component for the Blazers next season, and losing him for training camp would be a bad start to the season for him. Hopefully he’ll be healthy and ready to go for the start of the season at the beginning of November.
