GREENCASTLE, Ind. (AP) - Indiana Mr. Basketball Greg Oden will skip the Indiana-Kentucky All-Star games the next two weekends because of an injured wrist.
The seven-foot star from Lawrence North in Indiana tore a ligament in his right wrist during the high school sectional tournament and never fully recovered. He played with the sore wrist as Lawrence North won its third straight Class 4-A state championship.
Despite the injury, the two-time national high school Player of the Year also played in the McDonald's All-American Game and the Roundball Classic after the high school season.
Oden says he still plans to attend the All-Star games Saturday night at Bowling Green, Kentucky and the rematches June 24th in Indianapolis.
