not sure how serious. just watching the game.\ went knee to knee with josh howard and collapsed. noticeably limping now.
Oden continued to play in the game where he took the knee-to-knee contact. Played pretty well and finished the game on the floor.
Or Oden's tough, but the Blazer management/training staff is being overly protective of a huge investment...
Roy was a little fragile in his first couple seasons, and Aldridge missed the first part of his rookie season as well. Roy played in 57 games his rookie season, Aldridge 63. Now Roy and Aldridge are pretty much out there every night. Oden looks to be around 60-65 games if he comes back in the next week. He's currently at 46, 11 less games than Roy in his rookie season. He'll be fine!
