Always hurt, not a good sign at 20 years old

I don't think he is 20. He only played one year of college hoops.

It's too early to tell whether it's structural problem's with his feet/knee's (ie Bynum and Oden) or just bad luck. He's so good it would be a shame to see him battle injuries his whole career. In the first month of his rookie season, at 20 years old, he was dropping 20 pts. 9 assists and leading the league in steals with 3. And he's only a few months past his 20th bday.
It's amazing for a PG to come in and adapt that quickly at that age. It's not like he came into the league and with freakish physical attributes like a young shaq or like lebron.

Also don't forget he probably never done any of the weight training or stretching exercises that help you avoid injuries before going pro. Just have him work with a good trainer and he should be okay.

NBA is a different game from anything he's done...

Time will tell if he's "injury prone" or not...

Looks like he did one of the grades in elementary school twice.

i sure hope not but it would seem to fit the fortune of DC sports franchises at this moment.

that little guy, is going to spend half his short short career on the dl

**jjgold** · 12-15-10, 07:48 PM

Its sad

Hopefully he does not have career type injuries

**BRAVES1985** · 12-16-10, 04:54 PM

alot of injuries early on not a good sign

**ProfaneReality** · 12-16-10, 04:57 PM

you guys are overreacting to a few injuries
Sincerely,
Greg Oden

**thebestthereis** · 12-16-10, 06:00 PM

what exactly is his injury? same as oden?

**jking0606** · 12-16-10, 06:07 PM

Everyone calm down.. This happens to a lot of players who enter the league there rookie yr... he is just getting used to the b2b an long stretchs just like everyone else.. im a huge kentucky fan an it took him 2-3 games to adjust from high school when he got there to.. he will be the franchise of the wiz for a long time...

**jjgold** · 12-16-10, 06:08 PM

Many insiders already concerned that he might have an injury plagued career

I think he is out tonight

come on. do YOU even believe what you posted?

He is 20... you think 20 year olds need to get used to back to backs? You think they get easier with age??

**dom75** · 12-16-10, 06:23 PM

The Wizards just need to sit him on the shelf till he is fully healed and let him finish this season coming off the bench. Let him get his body adjusted to the heavy nba workload of a starter. Personally all this uncertainty of is he playing or not could be affecting the team as a whole in some way.

Ask Greg Oden

**Preston09** · 12-16-10, 06:55 PM
