Filed under: Trail Blazers, NBA InjuriesThe press release just dropped from the Portland Trail Blazers detailing the severity of Greg Oden’s injury. The Blazers say that the injury is a mid-foot avulsion fracture that will hold him out of the line up for the next 2-4 weeks.
This is good news for the Blazers, as the injury could have been much worse. However, the NBA might not be feeling the injury so much, as they had plans to highlight Oden in match ups against Shaquille O’neal, Dwight Howard, Yao Ming, and Tim Duncan over the next two weeks. Of course all of those games are nationally televised games, so it is a real blow to the league’s promotional efforts to have Oden out right now.
Despite the promotional harm to the league, this is pretty much good news for the Blazers and their fans. I guess all you Blazer fans thinking about jumping off the ledge of your balcony can now step back in the building.
