Pernia was a 2002-03 Western Conference All-Star and has spent the past two and a half seasons with the Sockers. The native of Argentina is coming off the best year of his career, highlighted by 80 blocks in 35 games during 2002-03. In the 2003-04 season Pernia has tallied a goal and an assist, along with 25 blocks in 16 games.
