The 7-foot center is expected to be on crutches for up to eight weeks. Full recovery likely will take six to 12 months, the team said.

Oden talked about the injury earlier this week in his blog. He said he had a sharp pain about a month ago when he was on vacation.

"I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want to seem like I was complaining or making excuses for anything. Plus I wasn't doing anything at the time I realized it hurt, so I figured it couldn't be anything big," he said.

	Horrible news. Oden was great to watch at OSU and it only feels like we saw him healthy in the tourney run. And out of foul trouble one of those games, against UF in the finals. It sucked because we only got a taste of Oden in college, although it was sweet indeed. Now you have to begin wondering if this will be a trend. Let's hope not.
