News and Notes
Jul 16 Oden (knee) won't be able to resume five-on-five basketball drills until September, the Associated Press reports.

Recommendation: Last year's first-overall pick is aiming to be ready at the start of the 2008-09 season. "I'm still rehabbing, but I’m ready to play," said Oden. "I can work out, I can lift, no 5-on-5, no 3-on-3. That's where everything is going, towards me being able to play when the season starts, but I'm ready." Watch his situation throughout training camp to make sure he is healthy before spending too high of a draft pick on the former Buckeye.

Jul 16 Oden is itching to get his delayed NBA career going, but he's still forbidden from any 5-on-5 action until September.

Advice: Oden's rookie season was over before it even started when he had right knee surgery last September. "I'm still rehabbing, but I'm ready to play," Oden told The Associated Press on Wednesday while in Los Angeles to attend the ESPY Awards. "I can work out, I can lift, no 5-on-5, no 3-on-3. That's where everything is going, towards me being able to play when the season starts, but I'm ready." He said he expects to be cleared to play again in September.
