Ezeli to seek opinion on slow-healing knee

Festus Ezeli still has no timetable for a return to action, after hitting a setback in his recovery from offseason knee surgery just over a month ago.

The Portland Trail Blazers center has yet to suit up for his new team, and is seeking another medical opinion on his slow-to-heal left knee, in which he received a bone marrow aspirate injection in August.

Ezeli will consult with a doctor while the Blazers travel to Houston and New Orleans this week, and will rejoin the team in New York, CSN's Jason Quick reports.

Ezeli, who signed a two-year, $15-million contract with the Blazers this past offseason, has a long history of knee problems, and has missed nearly 160 games over the past three years. He averaged seven points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 46 games for the Golden State Warriors last season.
