I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure Greg Oden isn’t going to miss his rookie season in the NBA
A headline from The New York Times (as of about 10 minutes ago), “Oden Likely to Miss His Rookie Season”:
I’m no doctor, but I don’t think surgery on the new Portland Trail Blazer’s right knee will cause him to miss his rookie season.
Oden’s rookie season will just be the following year—or whenever he gets around to playing again.
For the record, ESPN.com made the mistake too.
