Greg Oden played in his first game with the Miami Heat. It was Oden’s first appearance on an NBA court in nearly four years.
Oden last played in the NBA on December 5th, 2009 in Portland against the Houston Rockets when he had a knee injury and was carted off the court.
While it’s only the preseason, those who have seen, read, or heard about Oden ever since he was last on the court know what a big moment it was.
