Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Joel Przybilla started his NBA career playing
for Milwaukee in the 2000-01 season. On Thursday, the Bucks brought back the
veteran 7-foot-1 center by signing him to a one-year contract.
Although he was selected by Houston, Przybilla was sent to the Bucks via trade
on draft night in 2000. Przybilla, 32, played for the Bucks the first 3 1/2
seasons until he was traded to Atlanta.
A 12-year veteran in the NBA, Przybilla has averaged 4.0 points, 6.3 rebounds
and 1.4 blocks in 580 career games with Milwaukee, Atlanta, Portland and
Charlotte. He averaged 2.0 points and 5.1 rebounds in 27 contests for the
Trail Blazers last season.
