Greg Oden’s Injury Has Everyone Confused, Frustrated
The Blazers’ big man went down prior to the All-Star break with a bone chip in his knee. It wasn’t thought to be serious, and Portland figured he’d be back to full-strength by now. There’s been a slight change in plans, it seems.
Oden is now expected to miss at least two more games, and his coach (among others) is starting to get understandably nervous.
The Oregonian reports:
“I’m where everybody else is with it,” McMillan said. “I get a daily update and we thought, everybody thought, that he would be moving by now, if not playing. But things just keep getting bumped back…It goes from day-to-day, then after the doctors look at him, it’s a few more days,” McMillan said, shaking his head.
McMillan said he has become worried about the injury, although he said he has been assured by team doctors that this will not turn into a long-term setback. He also said surgery is not an option. “We are in a part of the season where we need our bigs,” McMillan said. “This (Houston) game is the perfect time to have Greg. Against San Antonio, too.”
I don’t know about you, but I’m going to hop over to that “Draft Kevin Durant” blog and see if they’ve updated their site of late.

Oden will never play a full season of NBA basketball ever in his entire career (which will be 4 years).
You cant predict someone getting hurt. and saying who was the better number one pick, because every team out there dont need a Greg O. or a Durant type of player. They pick who best fits their team. Taking nothing from Durant who is a great player. Greg just ran into some bad luck. And he is already better than sam bowie. Maybe he could be the next Justin Walsh and just be lucky.
noooooooo, you seem to be saying “look at me, i’m so great, i said this would happen”. and ignoring the fact that no-one cares…
I am not confused by Odens injury-ness. I KNOW it amounts to THE quintessential example of a wasted #1 draft pick. He was all hype and he will be out of the league in 4 years.
everyone wants Mr. Oden to succeed..and the only reason most are hating cuz his injuries keep disappointing everybody including himself.
or you will be out of basketball in 4 years.
Maybe he might need to get onto the Phoenix medical staff or atleast utilise their philosophy to go OUTSIDE of treating the injury and developing the health and strength of the surrounding body parts….
…to be continued ODEN! RISE UP YOUNG MAN .
