Lithuanian Arvydas Sabonis, a longtime center for the Portland Trail Blazers in the U.S. National Basketball Association and now a free agent, broke two toes while vacationing in his Lithuanian homeland. The 2.2-meter (7-foot-3) center, widely considered one of Europe's greatest basketball players ever, fractured two small toes on his right foot, doctors at a hospital in his hometown of Kaunas. Doctors said the injury, which occurred on September 6, wasn't serious and that no cast was required. Sabonis suffered a similar injury several years ago while playing soccer on a Lithuanian beach. Doctors declined to say how the mishap this week occurred. The 36-year-old's three-year, 30-million-dollar contract with the Trail Blazers ended this year. Portland wants to re-sign him, and Sabonis has indicated he will retire if he can't reach agreement with his former team.
