The 7-foot center from Lawrence North was injured Feb. 28 but played through the state high school tournament, leading the Wildcats to their third consecutive Class 4A championship. He also played in two national all-star games — the McDonald's All-American Game on March 29 in San Diego and the Roundball Classic on April 9 in Chicago.
The two-time national player of the year had said the injury would force him to miss the Kentucky-Indiana All-Star game Saturday night at Bowling Green, Ky., and the rematch June 24 in Indianapolis.
Buckeyes coach Thad Matta did not offer a timetable for Greg Oden's recovery but said he expected him to start summer school Monday, according to a statement issued by the school.
Greg Oden shot 74% from the field and averaged 22 points and 10.5 rebounds last season, when Lawrence North finished unbeaten with a record-tying 45th straight victory.
