PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland Trail Blazers forward Martell Webster is ready for his comeback.

The 2005 first-round pick missed all but one game last season after fracturing a bone in his left foot during a preseason game.

General manager Kevin Pritchard tells The Oregonian newspaper that Webster has been cleared for all basketball-related activities and will be ready when training camp opens later this month.

Webster started 70 games the year before last, and is expected to compete against Nicolas Batum for the starting small forward job.
