@WojYahooNBA Prior to MRI, Port front office official tells league source they believe it's a dislocated knee for Oden, but waiting on test results.
@pdxtrailblazersMRI confirms Portland C Greg Oden fractured left patella. Will undergo surgery to repair. Likely out for the season. FUCK!
Clearly it was some sort of dislocation. Now it's just an issue of how much damage was done along with it. Ligaments, tendons and cartilage are all fair game.
amazing... amazing.... LMA better stay healthy or we won't win 30 games. We absolutely have to trade Miller now. We need another forward.
It's just a fractured patella. No tendons, no ligaments. This is the best possible long-term news. He'll come back 100%.
It's hard to find a silver lining in this situation but maybe this will get KP off his ass and do his job to balance this roster. Such a cushy job KP has.
From here on out, it's about next year. We trade the "now" pieces and build for next year. This is a setback, but it could have been much, much worse.
