Cumberland Times-News

— Colon likely lost for season

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers offensive tackle Willie Colon will have surgery Wednesday to repair a torn right Achilles' tendon and is expected to miss the season.

Colon was injured while working out on his own at the Steelers practice complex on Monday. The Steelers haven't officially ruled Colon out for the season, but such an injury typically sidelines a player for at least nine months.

Rookie tackle Chris Scott, a fifth-round pick, also will have surgery Wednesday to repair a right foot injury that occurred while he was training in Tennessee.

With Colon likely out until 2011, the Steelers will explore bringing in an experienced offensive tackle. Right guard Trai Essex also could be moved there if another player isn't signed.

Nets deal 7-foot Yi to Wizards

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Nets traded forward Yi Jianlian to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, creating even more room under the salary cap as they head into free agency.

The Wizards dealt forward Quinton Ross to the Nets, who also sent an undisclosed amount of cash to Washington. The Nets freed up another $3 million with the deal, leaving them about $30 million to spend once free agency opens on July 1.

Yi was the No. 6 pick in the 2007 draft by Milwaukee and has now been traded twice. He averaged career highs of 12.0 points and 7.0 rebounds last season, but was limited to 51 games because of injury. The forward from China, scheduled to earn $4.1 million next season, has averaged 9.6 points and 5.8 rebounds in his career.

"This trade is a good opportunity to add a skilled 7-footer with significant NBA experience who was the sixth overall pick in the draft just three years ago," Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said in a statement. "Yi fits in very well with our ongoing plan of building towards the future with a core of young, talented players."

Noreen averaged nearly 39 points, 16.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.9 steals and 3.2 blocked shots per game in his senior season at Minnesota Transitions, a charter school in Minneapolis. Noreen and helped his team win the Class 1A state championship.
