PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Guard Brandon Roy has returned to practice with the Portland Trail Blazers but he won’t return to the lineup this weekend as he had hoped.
The three-time All-Star, who had arthroscopic surgery on both knees a little more than three weeks ago, worked out for about a half-hour with his teammates on Wednesday. He said afterward that he did not have any pain.
Blazers coach Nate McMillan says Roy will be eased back into the rotation and his minutes will be closely watched. There is no timetable for Roy to start playing again.
Blazers center Marcus Camby, who also had arthroscopic surgery last month, also returned to practice. He too was limited to 30 minutes.
