From the Trail Blazers: Greg Oden has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game at Indiana. Oden will be a game-time decision. Considering he's in his home state, with countless friends and family attending, I'm sure Oden would love to make his return tomorrow. -- 好消息，看來Oden這次是真的能打了，下一場又是在他家鄉比賽，會上嗎?? -- Oden nearing return ... which will come off the bench The Blazers on Tuesday upgraded center Greg Oden from out to questionable after the team went through a light workout in Indianapolis. Coach Nate McMillan said Oden will be a game-time decision. I was unable to get to Indianapolis in time for Tuesday's practice, but McMillan said Oden ran through offensive plays for more than 30 minutes and continued to run up and down the court as he has for the past two days. After deliberating with athletic trainer Jay Jensen, the team decided to upgrade Oden. "He says he is feeling better and that he is not experiencing any discomfort," McMillan said later. When Oden does play, McMillan said he will come off the bench. Oden hasn't played since Feb. 12 and has missed 15 games since suffering a chipped left knee cap when he collided with Golden State's Corey Maggette. "We will have to bring him along slowly because if his conditioning," McMillan said. "And we will have to monitor his playing time." Over the past week, the Blazers have been quietly predicting Oden was nearing a return. I'm still not sure he will play Wednesday - although Indianapolis is Oden's hometown, which would seemingly provide some extra motivation. But the upgrade is certainly a good sign his return is imminent, if not for the Pacers game, then for maybe Thursday's nationally televised game at Cleveland or certainly for Saturday's game at Milwaukee. Oden this season has appeared in 46 games, seven of which he came off the bench. The Blazers are 14-7 when he does not play. He is averaging 9.0 points and 7.2 rebounds while shooting 56.8 percent from the field. -- Oden回來後，會從板凳替補開始出發，合理啦!! -- --
