For the second time in four years, Portland Trailblazers center Greg Oden will undergo microfracture knee surgery and miss the entire 2010-11 season.
The Breakdown
Fantasy owners who took a chance and drafted the oft-injured 2007 #1 overall pick are highly disappointed with this news. While we knew Oden was an injury risk and was hurt going into the season, nobody was expecting this. Oden is starting to look like one of the biggest busts in NBA history.
Don't be too disappointed if you drafted Oden late. That is the type of gamble you have to take to win a competitive fantasy league. Maybe next year a similar gamble will pay off.
