Source: Oden Doesn’t Plan on Retiring
Yet another knee surgery won’t knock Greg Oden out of the NBA. Not yet, anyway.
Despite undergoing microfracture surgery on his left knee — the second microfracture procedure Oden has needed on the knee in the last two years — the Trail Blazers center has no plans to retire, a source close to Oden told SI.com.
The latest knee surgery — Oden’s fifth overall — came Monday after doctors performing a minor operation on Oden’s knee determined there was additional damage. The recovery time is expected to be one year.
