Injured center Greg Oden was reprimanded by the Portland Trail Blazers for playing in a pickup game at a neighborhood gym.

“We called him and we told him he can’t do that,” coach Nate McMillan said Friday.

Oden, the top pick in last year’s draft, is out for the season after microfracture surgery on his right knee. He said he played two games Wednesday night when he was at the fitness center with friends.

“I was going to play one, but I lost the first one,” the 7-footer said.

McMillan called Oden’s actions “pretty innocent,” but the coach wanted Oden to know he must avoid risky situations.
