PORTLAND, Ore. — Trail Blazers small forward Martell Webster had surgery Thursday to repair a stress fracture in his left foot.
The former standout at Seattle Prep will likely miss 8 to 10 weeks. Webster was the sixth overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft and has averaged 8.2 points during his career.
Webster was injured in Portland's exhibition opener, a 110-81 win over Sacramento.
Guard Rudy Fernandez and center Joel Przybilla will not travel with the Trail Blazers for their exhibition game tonight in Kansas City against the Atlanta Hawks.
Fernandez sprained his left ankle in the Blazers' 110-95 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. Przybilla has bronchitis.
Nets beat Heat in OT in Paris
PARIS — Devin Harris scored 21 points to lead the New Jersey Nets to a 100-98 overtime victory over the Miami Heat in an exhibition game.
Michael Beasley, the second overall draft pick in June, had 21 points for the Heat but missed a chance to force a second overtime when the second of his two free throws rattled out in the closing seconds.
Dwyane Wade also scored 21 points for Miami and was largely rested in the third and fourth quarters, while Vince Carter was limited to only eight points for the Nets before limping off after tweaking his left hamstring.
"The severity of it we don't know," Nets coach Lawrence Frank said.
The Heat will play the Nets again Sunday in London, part of the annual NBA Europe Live tour. Also, the New Orleans Hornets will face the Washington Wizards in Berlin on Tuesday and three days later in Barcelona, Spain.
Heat center Jamal Magloire will miss the game in London after breaking a bone in his left hand during the third quarter.
Note
• The Minnesota Timberwolves signed free-agent center David Harrison.
