Toronto- Greg Oden is glad the Portland Trail Blazers are winning - he just wishes he was part of the fun.
Oden, the No. 1 draft pick from Ohio State who had left knee surgery in September and is out for the season, has watched from the sideline as his Portland teammates have won 17 of their past 18 games.
"I would just like to be out there to be able to say, 'You know what, I'm out here, I'm working hard and I'm helping these guys win,' " Oden said before Sunday's game at Toronto. "I've got to keep in mind that I can't do anything but help myself and get myself ready for next year."
