Greg Oden out for season after micro fracture surgery

[Kebab Stall]

Is this a joke?

Hopefully it is a joke. This would be such a piss take if it was a joke though.

O-done

I just want it to be something he can fully recover from, so I never have to wonder "what if?" Hopefully it's not a microfracture.

[MaxFly]

I see no breaking news, no report on espn news. So I'm not buying this.

Yeah, somehow it's hard to believe that Yahoo Sports outscooped everyone else.

[ForceOfNature]

This is obviously a hoax.

Oh man, this will just be sad. I would hate it for Portland fans if Oden becomes wasted if Aldridge becomes the best big man for Portland, and Oden is an entire year behind his fellow rookie classmates.

portland is doing this just to get oj mayo!

[ForceOfNature]

This is obviously a hoax.

My bad, this looks legit. If so, then Oden is extremely overhyped (he can't stay healthy long).

You guys....it's something we all will have to deal with when we turn 40. You're body just starts to break down...it's inevitable.

It's confirmed on Portland's website. Microfracture surgery.

More like 55, dude looks almost as old as Bill Russell.

Microfracture?

That sucks. He will never be the next dominant big now.

Amare seemed to recover well and the Blazers are saying it was only a small place on his knee.

[L.Kizzle]

How did he get inhured in the first place?
