Blazers' Oden itching to play, but must wait until September

—

Greg Oden is itching to get his delayed NBA career going, but he's still forbidden from any 5-on-5 action until September. Oden's rookie season was over before it even started when he had right knee surgery last September. Recovery can take six months or more, and the Portland Trail Blazers decided their No. 1 pick would sit out the season.
