Guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Atlanta Hawks guard Craig “Speedy” Claxton has sustained a fracture of the third metacarpal bone in his left hand, according to Hawks head athletic trainer Wally Blase. The injury occurred during a workout on Monday. He was examined today by Hawks team physician Dr. Michael Bernot, and will visit hand specialist Dr. Stephen McCollam tomorrow. Claxton is expected to be out of action for five-to-six weeks, but none of his off-court conditioning activities will be limited, according to Blase. “Speedy was involved in a routine off-season workout, as many NBA players participate in,” said Hawks Executive Vice President/General Manager Billy Knight. “The injury is unfortunate, as it prevents him from continuing the strong off-season work he’s put in thus far. But we expect a quick and full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownjdb Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! Instead of the West Coast trip we get this. D*mn, why does something always happen to decrease our chances to start out the season with a winning record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted September 21, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 This is exactly the kind of injuries Claxton gets over a season. He's never played a full season in the NBA. Hopefully he'll break that record with us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
