Based on previous injuries like this in the NBA, how long does it usually take a player to recover?
Anyways, I expect Oden to be back 100% by the start of next season.
The crazy thing is that he was only playing around 23-24 minutes a game this season (mostly due to foul trouble) so it's not like the Trail Blazersorganization were putting a lot of stress on his body.
It was just a freak accident that couldn't be prevented. You can't strengthen your knee-cap in the weight room or by doing basketball drills.
What's crazy is that in the 3 years since he's been drafted (including this season), he's only played in 82 regular season games. Dude really isinjury prone. Even if he comes back 100% but only averages 40-50 games a season then he's gonna have to be considered a bust
