Greg Oden Taken Off On Stretcher After Knee Injury

Uh-oh, Blazers fans. The ghost of injured big men past is back to haunt Portland and former top overall pick Greg Oden. From SBN's Blazersedge:

During the first quarter of tonight's Blazers vs. Rockets game, Blazers center Greg Oden was injured while contesting a runner by Rockets guard Aaron Brooks.  Oden came to the ground clutching his left knee and was writhing in pain. 

Immediately Rockets training staff came to Oden's attention and, soon after, Blazers staff, including Blazers' team doctor, Doctor Roberts, came to his side.  A towel was used to cushion his head against the court floor and, within a few minutes, a stretcher was called to transport Oden off the court.

Oden had microfracture surgery on his right knee that caused him to miss the 2007-2008 season.  The injury tonight was suffered on his left knee.

Also via Blazersedge is an exclusive photo of Oden being taken off the court:

We'll have more details as they become available.
