PORTLAND - In the wake of a season-ending knee injury to center Greg Oden, the Portland Trailblazers have added Anthony Tolliver from the NBADL's Idaho Stampede.
Tolliver has appeared in all seven of Idaho’s games this season, averaging 20.7 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 36.9 minutes. He has recorded three double-doubles this season, including a season-high 30 points, to go with 11 rebounds, in a win over the Reno Bighorns on Nov. 30. For his efforts, Tolliver was named NBA D-League Co-Performer of the Week for games played Nov. 27-Dec. 6.
Portland will be Tolliver's third NBA team. He's previously played with the Spurs and Hornets.
Tolliver joins Portland immediately and will be availble tonight when the Phoenix Suns visit Portland.
