Heat trainers measure Greg Oden’s knees after every practice and they found something bad today.
That something is swelling in his knee.
“I’m fine,” Oden said. “It’s been three years, three-and-a-half years for me, so a little bit of swelling … As long as there’s no surgery, I’m OK. It’s just taking its time. It’s going to be a long season, and I’m going to get there. It’s just one day.”
Oden is remaining optimistic.
“I was hoping it didn’t [swell], but it did,” Oden said. “What can I do about it? The best thing I can do is get it back down and get back out there and figure out what I can do to get out there and not have it swell again.”
Although this individual incident may not be a big deal, it’s definitely not a good sign.
