    Yeah I'm pretty sure there's insurance coverage on him. The team will probably get an Injury Exception to use as well.

    EDIT: The exception would be worth about $2.5M in Oden's case.

    I believe injury exceptions go to teams who have a player who is out for the season, prior to Dec 1st. Greg was a few days late.

    I'm unsure how injury insurance works, but I know teams have it.

    I forgot about the cut off date. I think they can still apply for one, but it won't be available until next season.
