Joel Przybilla may not be ready to return to the floor by the time Portland opens training camp.

Przybilla, who is entering the final year of his contract, is rehabbing a pair of knee injuries. He initially hurt his knee on Christmas Day and then again while slipping in the shower weeks later.

"I'd love to be ready for the start of training camp, but they're kind of pulling back on the reigns a little bit," Przybilla told Mike Barrett.

"Dr. (Don) Roberts is very conservative, and that's understandable. I want to be playing in the playoffs next season. If that means I miss a few days of training camp, it's not that big of a deal. I just can't wait to get back out there with the guys."
