Greg Oden, the Portland Trail Blazers franchise cornerstone and No. 1 overall draft pick, will likely miss the entire season after undergoing microfracture knee surgery Wednesday, the team announced.
Microfracture surgery involves drilling tiny holes in the bone to stimulate the development of new cartilage. It was devastating news, however, for a franchise that had tied its resurgence to Oden's arrival.
The Blazers said Oden, who had the surgery on his right knee, was expected to be on crutches for up to eight weeks and that typical recovery time takes between six and 12 months....

Isn't he ready to retire?
