Joel Przybilla was knocked out of Monday's game with a banged right knee and his existing left ankle injury. Przybilla lasted just 10 minutes and says that he will play on Wednesday against the Jazz, but we're not going to take his word for it. If he missed any time, it will be absorbed by J.J. Hickson and Hasheem Thabeet.

Joel Przybilla had two points, a season-high 14 rebounds and zero blocks in another start for Portland on Wednesday. With LaMarcus Aldridge possibly done for the season, Przybilla should do a lot of rebounding, but his lack of offense is a huge concern. He's only worth a look in very deep leagues, and the 14 boards were his highest total since 2009.

Joel Przybilla (knee) returned to action on Friday, scoring two points on 1-of-1 shooting with five rebounds in 13 minutes. This is a pretty good representation of what to expect from Przybilla going forward, assuming he can stay healthy. He's also dealing with bone spurs in his left ankle and he's hoping he can make it until the offseason for surgery.

Joel Przybilla (knee) will start on Friday against the Mavericks. This won't change the pecking order in Portland too much, but if Przybilla ever succumbs to the knee injury then J.J. Hickson will be locked into heavy minutes the rest of the way.

Joel Przybilla is day-to-day with a left ankle sprain. Przybilla is traveling with the team to Dallas, but he's questionable to face the Mavs. If he can't go, it's a nice boost for J.J. Hickson. When Przybilla sat out Sunday due to knee issues, Hickson posted 15 points and nine rebounds in 35 minutes as a starter.

Joel Przybilla (knee) played 22 minutes on Monday, grabbing three rebounds with one assist and one block. Przybilla isn't a beacon of health after multiple serious knee surgeries, and we're not counting on him to be healthy on any given day. For all of our precaution, however, he appeared to move around well before the game and should be good to go going forward.

Joel Przybilla returned to action on Monday April 2.

Joel Przybilla does not appear to be favoring his sprained right knee in Monday's pregame warmups. Whether or not this particular issue is acute, Przybilla's history of knee injuries means that he'll be dealing with this stuff more often than not. J.J. Hickson's value has more or less already been established because of the Blazers' thin frontcourt, but yes, if Przybilla were to go down it would be yet another good sign for Hickson.

Joel Przybilla (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Jazz. Przybilla has a long history of knee issues and the Blazers are on a back-to-back. Therefore, it certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see J.J. Hickson draw his third straight start. In six appearances as a Blazers, Hickson is averaging an impressive 15.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals while playing 27.6 minutes per night.

Joel Przybilla is doubtful to play on Sunday due to soreness in his right knee. Przybilla has overcome multiple knee surgeries and will obviously be cautious, so even if Przybilla plays we expect to see plenty of Kurt Thomas and J.J. Hickson against the Wolves on Sunday.
