Bobcats to start season without Brezec

11.1.2006

Charlotte, NC (Basketball News) - The Charlotte Bobcats will begin the 2006-07 NBA campaign without starting center Primoz Brezec. The 7-foot-1 Brezec could miss up to two weeks because of exhaustion and dehydration.

"We feel that rest is the best overall care for Primoz. We realize the season is 82 games and five months long," team physician Dr. Joe Garcia said in a statement. "With this period of rest, Primoz should be back to 100 percent strength for the remainder of the season."

The 27-year-old Brezec, who spent the summer playing for his native Slovenia on its World Championships team, is entering his sixth season in the league. He spent the first three years of his career with the Indiana Pacers.

Last season, Brezec averaged 12.4 points and 5.6 rebounds in 79 contests. He has played in 213 games during his career.
