Contrary to the rumors floating over the weekend, Cho says Oden won't be participating in 5v5 workouts this week. Cho says Oden is progressing well; it just sounds like the team is just being extra cautious: "'We’re going to ease him into it ... maybe do some two-on-two or three-on-three, instead of up-and down five-on-five,' Cho said. 'I’m hoping he’ll be cleared to do that in the next couple of weeks.'" "That would seem to put in doubt Oden’s availability through the preseason. Training camp opens on Sept. 27, with the first exhibition game Oct. 5 against the Los Angeles Clippers." "'We’re being cautious,' Cho said. 'The longer you wait for the bone to heal, the better.'" Some other good updates on the team in the article. It's worth a read.
