Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden should be ready for the start of the preseason, according to the Portland Tribune.

The No. 1 pick in last year’s NBA draft, Oden missed all of this past season after undergoing microfracture knee surgery in September.

“I totally expect Greg to be able to play in the preseason,” Blazers trainer Jay Jensen told the Tribune in a story published Thursday. “The knee looks fabulous and his body is unbelievably powerful. His lower extremities are ridiculously powerful.”

The Blazers are not expected to rush the 7-footer back onto the court full-time and will “gradually build him up” during the preseason, according to the report.

“He’ll play maybe every other day, and every other game,” Jensen told the newspaper.

Oden averaged 15.7 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.3 blocks during his one year at Ohio State, helping the Buckeyes reach the National Championship game before losing to Florida.

Oden (knee) should be ready to play by the start of the preseason according to Blazers trainer Jay Jensen, the Portland Tribune reports.

Just six months ago, our boy Greg Oden was having microfracture surgery on his knee. Now the big man is out playing pickup games at a local fitness center. The Blazers coach Nate McMillan was not impressed. McMillan says ” Young players don’t know their value. In a couple of years he will understand how stupid that was.”\

Oh boy. Come on Greg. You don’t need to be balling with any scrubs off the street!

According to Greg Oden, Barrack Obama gave him a phone call.

The conversation was quick - like two minutes but I got to talk to him like a real person. What I got from talking to him is that he is a real sports fan and he knew about the Blazers. He said that when I come back Brandon, LaMarcus and I will be a force next year. He also asked me about my knee, and he said he wasn’t feeling my mohawk.
