Festus Ezeli: Undergoes surgery Wednesday

Ezeli never suited up with the Trail Blazers this season, as the left knee
troubles surfaced almost immediately after he signed with the team in the
summer. The 27-year-old’s procedure reportedly required the use of a cadaver
donor and is more intricate than most knee surgeries, so it appears likely that
Ezeli may require a longer recovery time that could sideline him for much of the
2017-18 campaign. Expect the Trail Blazers to decline their $7.73 million team
option on the center this offseason.
