I am amazed he didnt break something at the game the other night. Being on a court is hazardous to his health.

Trail Blazers to rework Oden's $8.9M deal after setback

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Portland Trail Blazers and Greg Oden agreed to a restructured one-year contract after the oft-injured center had another setback during his rehabilitation from microfracture surgery on his left knee.

The new contract was announced Friday after the Blazers opened training camp. A day earlier, Oden's agent reported the former No. 1 draft pick had agreed to the $8.9 million qualifying offer that Portland offered on June 29.

There had been speculation Oden might be able to play in late January, but Blazers acting general manager Chad Buchanan said a medical exam on Thursday led to some concerns.

"We're hopeful that Greg can get back out on the court this year -- maybe not quite as optimistic as we were before -- but we feel like Greg Oden is worth that risk for one more year," Buchanan said.

Oden's condition wasn't the only health-related issue as the Blazers opened camp.

All-Star guard Brandon Roy unexpectedly informed the team Thursday night that he planned to retire because of ongoing issues with both of his knees. Then forward LaMarcus Aldridge underwent a heart procedure on Friday that will keep him out for up to two weeks.

The 7-foot Oden hasn't appeared in a game in two years. He is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent following this season.

I hope Oden can get healthy and prove his doubters wrong. He needs to wear big-ass braces on his knees or something.

He's actually played really well in his limited time on the court.

Doctors have yet to come up with answer for why Greg Oden’s knees continue to break down, a trend that could end the former Ohio State star’s brief and discouraging NBA career.

Before the Portland Trail Blazers drafted him with the No. 1 overall pick in 2007, the 7-footer had no prior history of knee problems. The Blazers had images taken of both his knees before drafting him and called the images “pristine.” Yet Oden will miss another season after undergoing his fifth knee surgery last week, meaning that he will have played only 82 games in five seasons.

What continues to confound team doctors is that every time he has rehabilitated from surgery, he suffers a setback at the same juncture — when he begins running and jumping.

“We’ve had them explore every possible situation, and nobody can tell us specifically what has caused this,” Blazers team president Larry Miller told The Oregonian. “Greg probably wants to know what’s causing this more than anyone else, but we just haven’t been able to figure it out.”

What Miller didn’t say: Oden isn’t likely to get another chance with the Blazers after this rehab period ends. Oden, 24, becomes a free agent on July 1. Portland has paid him more than $20 m illion so far.
