Brandon's Injury - Becoming Kobe

[B-Roy]

More in an about an hour once I get a chance to type this up, but I wanted to pass along this information first. I wasn't going to say anything but Jay Allen went with it on the radio so I will too.

You probably saw the play in the second half where Brandon fell hard and was favoring his right hand. At the time he shook it off and hit a free throw. In the locker room postgame, his right pinky finger didn't look very good. It appeared at least slightly discolored and seemed to protude at a not-quite-normal angle. It is being evaluated by medical staff tonight. There was some discussion between a few media members and Brandon about whether it might be dislocated. I should say that Brandon did not appear to be in serious pain after the game and was in a surprisingly good mood, lightly joking with Brian Hendrickson and others.

More information should be available at practice tomorrow morning. And, yes, the team is practicing after this long stretch. My guess is had they closed this one out they would have probably had tomorrow off.

Thought you should know. As I said, the rest of the report will be coming shortly. Thanks for your patience.

Maybe he just jammed his finger. Or at least I hope so, his finger looked fine in the 4th and 1st OT as he was draining shots. If we lose Brandon for a significant amount of time... oh boy...

Damn the Clippers. Talk about adding injury to insult.

I hope Roy is okay. We would be a lottery team without him, I think. Get well soon, Roy's right pinky.

Pinky isn't used that much in basketball, he could have broken it in three places and had a splint put on it and not missed a game.

I'm shocked at the part about having practice today. I was certain they'd get ATLEAST a day off. They looked wore out last night to be honest.

Unfortunately, stupidity can't be fixed with glasses . . .
