Greg Oden is ready to play but is still prohibited from participating in 5-on-5 action, the Associated Press is reporting.

"I'm still rehabbing, but I'm ready to play," Oden told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "I can work out, I can lift, no 5-on-5, no 3-on-3. That's where everything is going, towards me being able to play when the season starts, but I'm ready."

He said he expects to be cleared to play again in September.
