Trail Blazers' Duop Reath Undergoes Foot Surgery, Out for Season

Portland expects a full recovery after repair of a right-foot stress fracture.

Overview

  • The team said Thursday’s procedure at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery was successful after imaging confirmed a right-foot stress fracture.
  • Reath has not played since Jan. 18 in Sacramento, initially sidelined with what the team labeled foot soreness before further testing.
  • The 29-year-old center logged 32 appearances this season, averaging 2.9 points and 1.2 rebounds in 8.1 minutes while shooting about 42% from three.
  • Now in his third Portland season, he will hit restricted free agency this summer as his current deal expires.
  • His loss adds to a battered roster that has seen 13 players miss a combined 225 games because of injury or illness.
