Qyntel Woods heads to court tomorrow. *new update*

Portland Trailblazers president Steve Patterson released a statement today regarding Qyntel Woods who has been suspended since the season even started for his alleged involvement in illegal dog fighting.
(Q's player page had to be linked to NBA.com since he has been erased from the Blazer website!).

"We have been notified by the Clackamas County authorities that Qyntel Woods is scheduled to appear in Circuit Court tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. regarding his ongoing criminal investigation. This process has been long and frustrating for everyone involved and we are hopeful for a resolution tomorrow."

This is something Blazer fans have been wondering about. It will be interesting to see if Q is formally charged or if he is cleared. Many have questioned Qyntel's suspension due to the fact that he has never been formally charged. You can read up on the situation by following this link. If Q is charged tomorrow then his time as a Blazer is certainly over. If he is cleared do not be suprised to hear an uproar from Blazer fans who want him suited up and on the floor.

UPDATE: From KATU news. PORTLAND, Ore. - KATU has learned that suspended Portland Trail Blazers forward Qyntel Woods is scheduled to accept a plea deal in court on Friday following an investigation into animal abuse.

1/21 UPDATE: Qyntel Woods has been waived by the Blazers.
