TAMPA, Fla. Black Roddy White Jersey . —Tampa Bay defensive end Adrian Clayborn will miss the rest of the season because of a right knee injury that will require surgery. Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano made the announcement Monday, a day after Clayborn was hurt during the second half of a 16-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Clayborn was the 20th overall pick in the 2011 draft. As a rookie, he started all 16 games and led the Bucs with 7 1/2 sacks. The second-year pro had two tackles and no sacks in three games this season. Clayborn was placed on injured reserve, and Schiano said the Bucs are weighing options for replacing him. Daniel Teo-Nesheim and George Johnson are the teams backup defensive ends. Limited Roddy White Jersey .

The team said Friday that Doug Brocail will return as pitching coach and the team is bringing back Dave Clark.HOUSTON—If theres one player who never has to be reminded of the importance of rebounding, its Denvers Kenneth Faried. That was clear on Wednesday night. Ty Lawson scored 21 points and Faried had 16 points and 16 rebounds to help the Nuggets to a 93-87 victory over the Houston Rockets. Faried, a second-year player who holds the NCAA modern-era record for rebounds with 1,673 in his college career, had three in the last minute to hold off a late surge from Houston. “I just felt the whole game that Kenneth had the spirit that he was going to win this game tonight,” Denver coach George Karl said. “He was pretty incredible.” James Harden had a tough night for the Rockets and finished with a season-low 15 points on 5 of 15 shooting. Harden bulled into the lane for a layup to cut Denvers lead to five with just less than four minutes remaining. But Danilo Gallinari tipped in a missed free throw before a rim-rattling alley-oop dunk by Faried pushed the lead to 89-80. A pair of free throws by Jeremy Lin cut it to 91-87 with 1:21 remaining. Lin got knocked in the nose on the foul and was bleeding. He had to shoot the free throws with paper stuffed in his left nostril. Faried blocked a layup attempt by Harden and Chandler Parsons missed a 3-pointer seconds later. Faried got the rebound on the miss and dunked it on the other end to secure the win. “The block, his offensive rebounding, his energy—I thought he was probably the most energized guy on the court,” Karl said. Faried, who finished with nine offensive rebounds, said those rebounds were most important when the Nuggets struggled to hit shots late. “I think it has a lot to do with what we do in practice,” he said of offensive rebounding. “Extra possessions are really important in this league and we got a lot of them tonight.” Harden, Houstons newest acquisition, was held in check for most of the night and entered the fourth quarter 2 of 9 with just seven points. Traded from Oklahoma City on Oct. 27 and signed to a five-year, $80 million contract extension a few days later, he was named the Western Conference player of the week after scoring 106 points in his first three games. “Right now were in a little bit of a funk,” Houston coach Kevin McHale said. “The game right now feels hard … it doesnt feel like its rolling and flowing, and weve got to get rolling and flowing and then good things will happen.&quoot; Harden believes Houstons struggles come from his joining the team so recently. Pink Jones Jersey. . “As the games go on, well get better,” he said. “We havent played together. We didnt have a training camp or have time to really put in some sets, so were kind of just figuring things out as we go.” Denver double-teamed Harden some, but the main task of guarding him fell to Andre Iguodala. “Hes such an explosive scorer the way he attacks,” Iguodala said. “You really have to be alert at all times. The biggest thing is just being proactive and not reactive to what hes about to do.” The Nuggets led by four in the fourth quarter and used a 7-2 spurt, capped by an alley-oop dunk by Faried to make the lead 78-69 with about nine minutes remaining. Houston finally got its offence going after a tough-shooting first half and went on a 20-7 run to open the third quarter and cut the lead to 63-61 with just under three minutes left in the quarter. Patrick Patterson led the charge in that span, scoring 12 points. Patterson had a chance to tie it with about two minutes left, but he badly missed a jump shot. Patterson finished with 18 points and Carlos Delfino had 19. Omer Asik added 10 points and 13 rebounds for Houston, and Lin had six points, six assists and a career-high six steals. Gallinari hit a 3 for the Nuggets before they made four straight free throws to push the lead to eight. Delfinos 3-pointer left Houston down 69-64 entering the fourth quarter. Asik got hit in the face grabbing a rebound in the third quarter and received four stitches on the side of his left eye. He tried to remain in the game after taking the hit, but officials called a timeout because of the bleeding. They werent able to stop the bleeding on the court so Asik headed to the locker room. He returned to the start of the fourth quarter. The Nuggets led by seven after one quarter. Parsons and Delfino made back-to-back 3-pointers for Houston to cut the lead to 25-24 to start the second. Denver was up by two points midway through the quarter before using a 21-6 run to extend the lead to 54-39 about 2 1/2 minutes before halftime. Lawson had 14 points including a pair of 3-pointers in that span. Houston missed nine shots, including three layups during Denvers run. NOTES: Asik has had at least 10 rebounds in three straight games. ... Iguodala had 13 points and three steals. ... Harden tied a career high with five steals. ’ ’ ’
