he has a fractured rist. the swelling needs to go down before they re-evaluate him.

Fractured wrist? Is it his shooting hand? let's hope it's not season ending.

John Ireland said on 710 it would probably be "at least 3 weeks."

We have no strength on the perimeter to defend Mason/Snyder now

lets hope JJ got one good practice in running the Tri. I know that thats not NEARLY enough but just enough for him to get an idea of it..

This is bad news. I don't see JJ capable of the type of defense DG was providing for this team. I hope this doesn't mean increased minutes for Luke.

If Jim Jackson doesn't get playing time tonight I have to question PJ's manhood despite the fact he has 9 rings, 2 Coach of the year trophies, and playboy centerfold as a girlfriend.

Definitely not good news. Just like Profit, DG was a reliable source of production from the bench...something that is in short supply on this team. I hope (pray) JJ can pick up the slack...or this one is gonna sting.

If it's a wrist fracture, it sure won't be a couple of games.

We'll have to listen for the official announcement tonight.

This is what always happens w/ Devean. Just when he is able to ramp his game up to the point where he is a valuable contributor - He gets injured.

The team is really going to miss his D and rebounding.
