Greg Oden , the Portland Trail Blazers' No. 1 pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, will miss the 2007-2008 season after knee surgery on Thursday, two league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Oden, the 7-footer out of Ohio State, underwent exploratory surgery on his right knee on Thursday in Vancouver. The extent of the damage was not immediately clear, but Oden, one of the most celebrated young players in years, will be lost for the season.

The Blazers are expected to make an announcement shortly.

Oden Undergoes Microfracture Surgery


An exploratory arthroscopic surgery performed on Greg Oden today revealed cartilage damage to the Portland Trail Blazers rookie’s right knee. Oden is likely to miss the 2007-08 NBA season.

"Greg had an arthroscopy and a micro fracture surgery today," said team physician Dr. Don Roberts, who preformed the surgery. "He was found to have articular cartilage damage in his right knee. The area of injury was not large and we were able to treat it with micro fracture, which stimulates the growth of cartilage. There are things about this that are positive for Greg. First of all he is young. The area where the damage was is small and the rest of his knee looked normal. All those are good signs for a complete recovery from micro fracture surgery."

Oden is expected to be on crutches for up to eight weeks. Recovery time from micro fracture surgery varies from person to person, but generally takes between six and 12 months for full recovery.

"Certainly this is a setback, but our future is still incredibly bright," said Trail Blazers General Manager Kevin Pritchard. "Is it disappointing? Yes. However, this is a great core of talent and players of strong character and will continue to be."

Oden, the #1 pick in June’s NBA Draft, averaged 15.7 points and 9.6 rebounds for Ohio State last season, leading the Buckeyes to the NCAA national championship game as a freshman.

"We know this discouraging news for all of our fans, however, the people of Portland are very enthusiastic and compassionate about their Trail Blazers and I know they will stand behind Greg and the team during his recovery," said Trail Blazers President Larry Miller. "We believe our fans and sponsors are going to continue to support us because they know we’re headed in the right direction."

Could you imagine if this injury lingers for a few seasons and he is forced to retire. Meanwhile Kevin Durant goes on to lead Seattle to multiple titles. Good thing that's never happened to Portland before.
I just hope that people will like me

Portland's medical staff must be as bad as the Knicks. The guy goes in for minor exploratory surgery and he comes out with micro fracture surgery and is lost for the season. It is tough breack for Portland. Frye will get plenty of time to play now and should do pretty well.

Imagine they end up w/OJ Mayo to match up alongside Roy & Oden? that's the building blocks for a dynasty right there.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

So now he's had the same surgery our "stud" PF had. They traded one microfracture victim and added another.

What Oden needs to do is take it slow. With this type of surgery you are not suppose to rehab fast or take it fast, you are suppose to wait as long as you can so the bone can heal up and get stronger. Look at what happen with Matt Harpring who had to do the surgery twice cause he rushed it, then look at Jason Kidd who took it slow and is still an all-star.

Oden dont rush it!
