Jason Quick is reporting that rookie Jeff Pendergraph will be undergoing hip surgery this Wednesday. This doesn't mean that the team won't sign him to a contract, but he will most likely be out for most of the season. Bummer of a start for the former Sun Devil. Rudy-less Spain was upset in their first game of the Eurobasket 09 tourney by Serbia 66-57. Spain struggled from the start without Rudy, who has been out with a minor hamstring injury. Pau Gasol, Ricky Rubio and Juan Carlos Navarro all struggled against the Nenad Krstic led Serbian team. Blazers draftee Victor Claver was scoreless in 7 minutes of action. Spain hopes to have Rudy back soon. Jason Quick will be providing coverage to 95.5 The Game this season. Last year Quick had a deal with 1080 the Fan, as their exclusive Blazer insider. 1080 needs to step it up. They've been taking quite a beating from 95.5 this year from what I've been hearing. Make sure you take the fam to this year's MAIZE at the Pumpki...
