Ryan the Magic Fan Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden will undergo microfracture surgery on his left knee Friday and will miss the remainder of the 2010-11 season, the Trail Blazers announced this evening. Dr. Richard Steadman will perform the surgery with assistance from Trail Blazers orthopedic surgeon Dr. Don Roberts at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Vail, Colo. Oden, 22, has been sidelined since fracturing his left patella in a Dec. 5, 2009, game vs. Houston. A recent MRI showed damaged cartilage to the surface of his femur, and his current injury is unrelated to the fractured left patella. http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2010/11/breaking_news_blazers_greg_ode.html Quote
Shock Phantom Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Just saw on ESPN, looking for link to find later. Damn shame. Career outlook is definitely not looking good... Quote
Jareth Cutestory Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Guy just needs to retire. Quote
IronMaiden Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Oh well they only passed up Durant... Quote
sharp/7/shooter Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 This is kind of ironic cus I use this saying all the time, "I'm on it like Oden's on the DL". He's out for another season :o I feel for the guy though, he hasn't even had time to prove himself. He is young, hopefully he can bounce back. Quote
Marc Acres 3:16 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Additional damage must have occurred during practice so what I gather from that is this guy can't play basketball on any level without getting injured. They need to just walk away, I don't think I would want him even for back up mins any longer. Quote

Jareth Cutestory Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 He's played in 82 of a possible 328 games. That means he's literally missed 3 full seasons. He's done folks. It's a shame, but he's done. IF he does come back, I don't expect any sort of impact. Atleast definitely nowhere near number 1 pick type impact. 1 Quote
Emory889 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Agreed Jareth. He's had every injury conceivable and the microfracture surgery twice in a 3 year span. I think he really may be 45 years old. He's falling apart. It's ashame to because he seems like a really nice kid. Quote
~O~ Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 I don't see any team taking a chance on Oden after this. Quote
