http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/4646 Recent articles about Travis Outlaw en-us Trail Blazers forward Travis Outlaw had surgery Wednesday to repair a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot. The team says he will be sidelined three to five months. Outlaw, who averages 9.9 points, hurt the foot during the first quarter of the Trail Blazers' game against Charlotte on Saturday night. The 6-foot-9 sixth man averaged 12.8 points last season and has been dubbed "Mr. Fourth Quarter" because of his knack for making important shots lat...

Travis Outlaw undergoes successful surgery on his left foot. Expected out 3 to 5 months. When it comes to foot injuries there is all sorts of variability in terms of recovery times based on the severity of the stress fracture.   If you're rushing to the conclusion that the Blazers are setting a longer recovery timeline for Outlaw because they got burned by rushing Martell Webster back last year, I would urge caution.  Two differen...

He writes... Travis Outlaw, Blazers: Outlaw has been somewhat a forgotten man in Portland. He's been a solid scorer and shooter for the Blazers the past few seasons. He's still young and athletic, and given all the money the Blazers are going to have to commit to young players such as Roy and Aldridge, he probably won't be re-s...

Most people have decided that Outlaw — a special kind of specialist — is not a starting-caliber player for the Blazers at the SF spot, where they need defense, shooting and off-the-ball play. He’s gotten votes for the Sixth Man of the Year award in the past, and rightfully so [...] Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:54:09 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/Regarding_Travis_Outlaw/1343842 http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/Regarding_Travis_Outlaw/1343842 http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/Regarding_Travis_Outlaw/1343842 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/7/e/7e543c9aad6d9aa07042028846737d403468009b/small/4d.jpg Yes, the title of this post may have been ripped off (in a very corny fashion) from the UPS commercials.
