Prior to MRI, Port front office official tells league source they believe it's a dislocated knee for Oden, but waiting on test results.

Oden is getting MRI done now.
Hollinger: No date for surgery yet. Repeat, Oden, fractured left patella, likely out for year.
Looks like Oden will be put into the "If only..." pile.

Blazers PR is now reporting it's far worse than they originally feared: Fractured left patella for Oden. That could be a season-ender.
wow, that's a shame.
Yeah, Oden is done for the season. That's it for Portland.
wow dislocated would have been desirable. sad story, too bad espn is doing crazy CF coverage they dont even bother offering updates
http://www.blazersedge.com/2009/12/5...eg-oden-leavesAt the 7:45 mark of the first quarter of tonight's Blazers vs. Rockets game, Blazers center Greg Oden injured his left knee while contesting a runner by Rockets guard Aaron Brooks. Oden came to the ground clutching his left knee and was writhing in pain.
Immediately Rockets training staff came to Oden's attention and, soon after, Blazers staff, including Blazers' team doctor, Doctor Roberts, came to his side. A towel was used to cushion his head against the court floor. The Rose Garden crowd briefly chanted "Oden! Oden!" in support but then came to a quiet hush as Oden continued to lay on the ground.
The Blazers took a full timeout and a stretcher was called in to transport Oden off the court. Joel Przybilla replaced Oden in the game.
Oden had microfracture surgery on his right knee that caused him to miss the 2007-2008 season. Again, the injury tonight was suffered on his left knee.
As of now (7:31PM), Oden is in the Blazers locker room. Further information should be available shortly.
Update (7:52PM): Brian T. Smith of The Columbian just told me that, according to two sources close to the situation, Greg Oden has been taken to the Rebound Clinic and will undergo an MRI on his left knee. Here's a link to Smith's blog. Give it a click in appreciation of that information.
Update (8:14PM): Joe Freeman of The Oregonian has posted an update that includes another picture of Oden taken by Bruce Ely.
Update (8:17PM): Jeff Green of the Oklahoma City "Thunder" passes along his well wishes.
Can everyone say a prayer for my boy Greg Oden and hope he has a speedy recovery please THANK YOU

I've seen similar pictures. I don't want to speculate but it did look gruesome.
Update (8:23pm): The Blazers have informed the media assembled in the Rose Garden that an MRI revealed that Greg Oden suffered a fractured left patella and is "likely out for the season." Blazers General Manager Kevin Pritchard will address the media after the game.
The Thunder must be really glad right now that Portland made that pick lol
