    PORTLAND, Ore. (May 29, 2013) – Portland Trail Blazers guard Wesley Matthews underwent a successful arthroscopic debridement of his left elbow today. The procedure was performed by Dr. Ken Yamaguchi at Washington University Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Mo.

    Matthews’ recovery time is expected to be 3-4 weeks.

    In his fourth NBA season and third with the Trail Blazers in 2012-13, Matthews averaged 14.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, a career-best 2.5 assists, a team-high 1.30 steals and 34.8 minutes in 69 games (all starts). His career-high 169 3-pointers last year rank fourth on Portland’s all-time list for 3-pointers made in a season.

    Will it hurt his trade value?

    Someone should tell the team docs it was his ankle that was the problem, not his elbow...

    Will this help him create his own shot?

    Yep, he can now use the elbow to clear a path as it is no longer injured!

    I love Wes. It's too bad he never really got to be the backup SG for which we signed him. If Roy's wheels wouldn't have fallen off, we could have reduced Brandon's minutes and Wes would have been terrific against the other teams' bench players.
