Greg Oden , the Portland Trail Blazers' No. 1 pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, will miss the 2007-2008 season after knee surgery on Thursday, two league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Oden, the 7-footer out of Ohio State, underwent exploratory surgery on his right knee on Thursday in Vancouver. The extent of the damage was not immediately clear, but Oden, one of the most celebrated young players in years, will be lost for the season.

The Blazers are expected to make an announcement shortly.

I have confirmed the same miserable thing with a source in the know. The team will be announcing it any second.

I'll be updating this post in a second with some thoughts.

UPDATE: From Blazers.com:

An exploratory arthroscopic surgery performed on Greg Oden today revealed cartilage damage to the Portland Trail Blazers rookie's right knee. Oden is likely to miss the 2007-08 NBA season.

"Greg had an arthroscopy and a micro fracture surgery today," said team physician Dr. Don Roberts, who preformed the surgery. "He was found to have articular cartilage damage in his right knee. The area of injury was not large and we were able to treat it with micro fracture, which stimulates the growth of cartilage. There are things about this that are positive for Greg. First of all he is young. The area where the damage was is small and the rest of his knee looked normal. All those are good signs for a complete recovery from micro fracture surgery."

Yeah, this sucks for Oden, but after having 24 hours to think, I'm less freaked out.

Greg seems like a smart kid, and his life has been all about BBall since he was what 12? And he seemed all stressed out since way before the draft, getting pulled in all directions. 3 months to relax, read the funny papers, enjoy his paul allen $, soak up portland during the winter, play some xbox, and think. Then rehab his ass off for 9+ months, thinking about how much people are writing him off. Now he'll have something to prove, and not just sky high expectations. Plus dude is what 19, or barely 20, so his body will heal better than older dudes like penny hardaway who had the same knee surgery.

I bet he'll come back more of a sav than he was before, because he'll be more mentally tough, pissed off and salty. Dude is a funny cat tho', did yall see how he said he listens to will smith and his favorite movie is "you got served" or something and he can do all the dance routines, lol?

Oden for ROY 2008-09

oden also apologized about 15-20 times to pritchard when he first visited him at the hospital...shows that hes upset n wants to play.

shows what kinda character the blazers are building...players n coaches caring about eachother... being there for eachother.... and not giving up... its good to see the blazers building a foundation this way....
