“Oden, a 7-footer from Ohio State, was found to have torn cartilage during exploratory surgery on his right knee and was operated on by team doctor Don Roberts in Vancouver, Wash. Most microfracture surgeries require eight months to a year for recovery.”

Regarding Oden’s replacement a source in the Trailblazers organization told COED, “Przybilla is going to replace him as the starter although Prz would probably have started anyway.”
