Hits keep coming - Dorell Wright fractured his 4th metacarpal in his left hand. Status is TBD.

[BlazerBeav]

Woohoo.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Fack.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

No joke?

 

[BlazerBeav]

All over twitter and Talking Ball.

 

[Darkwebs]

Damn. And just when he was playing so well.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Big loss if he is out and surprisingly more for his driving ability lately than his deep ball. He is one of the few guys who wasn't afraid to take it to the rack.

 

[Blazer4ever]

This can only mean one thing - It's GEE Time!!!!

 

[BlazerBeav]

On Talking Ball, Jabari said Wright will play through it.

 

[PCmor7]

Wonderful.

 

[kjironman1]

Another guy trying to play through an injury? I don't like the sound of that at all.
Wright was playing well but next man up. Get that experience!

 

[EGame]

april fools, right?

RIGHT?

 

[Haakzilla]

...here is video evidence of the play

Too late to change our mascot to a giant hand?

Used to be knees. Now it's hands. ugh

If we had a team song it would be a remix of head, shoulders, knees and toes.

Hands, fingers, wrists and thumbs?

 

[noknobs]

Another hand injury, fuck me.

It's his non-shooting hand right?

 

[Draco]

That sucks, this has been one of his better stretches as a Blazer. Right up there with him filling in the strating lineup as a stretch 4 for LaMarcus last season.

I think this means more CJ; possibly more Blake, and a lot of Afflalo at SF. Gee and Crabbe could get a few spot minutes but I think this mostly means more smaller wing lineups with our reserves.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Another hand injury, fuck me.

It's his non-shooting hand right?

I believe so. He intends to play through it and I don't think there is anyway he could if it was his shooting hand.

 

[Draco]

I wonder if the new training staff is doing less heavy weight lifting or something? Maybe its improved the rest of the players bodies as we've had few injuries to knees or other areas but the guys seem to have weak hands and fingers.

 

[magnifier661]

To anyone that is saying more playing time for Gee or Crabbe. I actually think it's more playing time for Biebs. Wright is a stretch 4. Crabbe and Gee can't stretch out a PF. They aren't strong or tall enough to guard the opposing 4 and Freeland or Kaman doesn't have the range Biebs has.

They should spend more time playing patty-cakes to warm up before games.

 

[BBert]

None-shooting hand. Wrap it up.

 

[e_blazer]

Apparently, the previous Blazers medical staff had issues with knees. The current group seem to have deficiencies with hands. I guess that's an improvement.

 

[riverman]

That's his pump fake hand so he'll be fine

 

[riverman]

The whole team should try that cupping thing they do..that'll fix everything!

 

[santeesioux]

 

[KeepOnRollin]

So apparently he (or someone) decided he couldn't play with the issue?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Ouch.
