Greg Oden Out 2-4 Weeks
Thursday, October 30th, 2008 | NBA, Sports | No Comments
An MRI on the right foot of Center Greg Oden revealed a mid-lateral foot sprain. Oden is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with the injury. Oden injured the foot in the 1st quarter of the Trailblazers opening night loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. Oden didn’t think twice about it and stayed in the game until the pain forced him out towards the end of the 1st half. Oden is still searching for his first NBA point, as the Lakers held him scoreless in his 13 minutes of play. Oden had 5 rebounds, 1 blocked shot, and 2 turnovers before he departed. Although Oden played the entire pre-season before the 2007-8 NBA season, he had to have surgery on his right knee that required him to miss the entire regular season.
The early injury to Oden put a damper on the Trailblazers expectations for the 2008-9 NBA season. Joel Przybilla will start for the Trailblazers in Oden’s absence. The Trailblazers next face the San Antonio Spurs at home on Halloween night.
