Monticello, Minn. native Joel Przybilla signed an NBA contract with Portland on Monday and was expected to make his first appearance of the season tomorrow night against his homestate Timberwolves in Portland. Instead, Przybilla was thrown into action last night for the Blazers, filling in for the injured Kurt Thomas. The "Vanilla Gorilla" scored four points and grabbed six rebounds in 19 minutes of action last night in a Portland loss to Miami. It was the first game action for Przybilla since last March when his season ended for Charlotte with a knee injury.
