PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Trail Blazers forward Travis Outlaw (FSY) 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 his 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 late in the game.
