    ...upon further examination, it was determined that Oden has an issue with a non-weight bearing ligament. Oden has no symptoms and doesn't feel restricted, but the doctors are concerned with the fragility of the ligament.

    I think at some point you just have to call it a career and retire.

    Oh and Oden over Durant will go down just like Bowie over Jordan as one of the worst draft decisions in NBA history.

    Primed for career #2? Poised to make an impression? Excited about his latest opportunity?

    $1.5M, with insurance presumably covering 80% of it. Not a horrific risk. But it's game over for his career now. Drafted in '07, and he'll have played 82 games over the course of 5 seasons.

    Insurance will never again cover one of his contracts, and he'll essentially be starting from scratch with his development.

    I really feel sad to hear of this. He had the potential to become a solid center for many years if he had been healthy.
