SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Greg Oden practiced with the Portland Trail Blazers for the first time since right knee surgery ended the No. 1 draft pick's debut season before it started six months ago.
Oden, the 7-foot center from Ohio State taken with the top selection in last year's draft, surprised his teammates Wednesday when he participated in offensive drills and even dunked during 45 minutes of half-speed work. The Blazers were in Sacramento for Thursday night's game against the Kings.
"Yeah, it was nice," Oden said after lifting weights Thursday in Sacramento. "I learned some of the plays that I'm not going to use, but it was good to be out there with the guys and go through some of the stuff that they go through."
