LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – The Los Angeles Clippers  have traded center Marcus Camby to the Portland Trail Blazers  for forward Travis Outlaw, guard Steve Blake and cash  considerations.

Los Angeles also said on its website (www.nba.com/clippers)  on Tuesday that the team had waived experienced guard Ricky  Davis.

Camby gives Portland a much-needed boost at center since  their top two players in the position, Greg Oden and Joel  Przybilla, are out for the season with injuries.

The 35-year-old Camby, known for his strong defensive play,  was averaging 12.1 rebounds, 7.7 points and almost two blocked  shots per game with the Clippers.

Blake, 29, averaged 7.6 points and 4.0 assists for Portland.

Outlaw, 25, has been limited to 11 games this season after  undergoing foot surgery in November.
