Blazers' Oden 'antsy' to get back on court

PORTLAND, Ore. - Greg Oden is simply not the type to dwell on the misfortune of his first season in the NBA.

?I?m just antsy, you know, to compete. To get out there and to be able to win a game, I miss that feeling,? he said.
Oden?s rookie season was iced before it even started when he had microfracture surgery on his right knee last September. The procedure is designed to stimulate cartilage growth by drilling tiny holes in the bone.
