Greg Oden is unsure when he will be ready to play and how many games he will appear in during the 10-11 season.

"That's a hard question because I don't know when I'm going to be back," he said.

Oden has until Oct. 31 to sign an extension or he would become a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Asked the status of that negotiation, he deflected the answer.

"That's something you have to talk to Rich and my agent about," he said. "That's something I'm not even going to talk about. I've got to get back out there on the floor before those talks are going to happen."
