Oden injury update

[AcesoverKings]

Greg Oden had surgery for a broken wrist a couple months ago, and last I heard he would miss at least the start of the season.  Anyone have any updates on him?

Last I heard is that he'll be ready for Big 10 play.  So he'll miss most of the non conference schedule.  That could have changed since then.  

I'll see if I can find an update.

Looks like the recovery is state to take 6 months from mid June.  I found an article on it.  

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]A six-month layoff would put Oden back in action Dec. 16. Ohio State hasn't released its full schedule, but Oden's absence would include the marquee game of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, Nov. 29 against North Carolina, which pits the nation's top two rated recruiting classes.
Should Oden play, the game would also be a rematch of a nationally televised high school game between Tyler Hansbrough, last year's national Freshman of the Year with the Tar Heels, and Oden.[/quote]

Earliest could be 12/16.
