NBA: Oden Can't Play Basketball?
Published 3/28/2008 by Sara Perkins at Bleacher Report - NBA
Rumors were flying around that Greg Oden had played two pick-up games of basketball at a local 24-hour fitness center. Well turns out he had, and the Blazers were not impressed to say the least. Even though Oden swore he wasn't running hard, coaches and trainers are still skeptical of such activity. He has been on the road to recovery for 6 months now with minor set backs. As a matter of fact, he is recovering well but the team doesn't want him pushing it, especially by playing pick-up games.
