EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Clippers forward Elton
Brand ruptured his left Achilles' tendon on Friday during his daily
workout. The 28-year-old will undergo surgery but plans for the operation
have not been finalized yet, the Clippers said. "It's unfortunate that this had to happen," general manager
Elgin Baylor said in a statement. "But knowing Elton and how
dedicated he is to his profession and how hard he works, I believe
he'll be back 100 percent as good as ever." Last month, Brand -- a veteran of eight NBA seasons -- withdrew
from the U.S. national team because of injury. He averaged 20.5
points and 9.3 rebounds last season, when the Clippers failed to
make the playoffs.
