Now, he'll have 8 weeks to work on his left hand. Blessing in disguise. Deron Williams had his jaw wired shut, couldn't eat, lost weight, gained quickness. Worked out pretty well for him.

Hang in there JCL. Here's to a full recovery.

To further that perspective, when Derrick Rose was young he broke his right arm which forced him to work on dribbling and shooting with his left hand. It also gave him time to study for the SAT. So JCL's got that going for him, which is nice.

During a skill workout?! I'm sorry but it takes a lot to break your hand. I'm beginning to question what goes on in workouts and practices.

It doesn't take much to break a small bone in your hand. Catch a basketball wrong and it is a matter of 3 degrees if you jam your finger or break something. Slip and fall on your fist and you get a boxer's fracture.

The way his hand is wrapped I'd assume ring/pinky finger knuckle area. Then again I'm not a doctor and just speculating. Anyone know where in his hand he broke it? I don't want it by the wrist cause range of motion for his shot could be lost. Don't want it in the finger area cause obviously fingers are the most important part of shooting on the hand. Here's hoping for the palm area.

Really looks like a boxer's fracture; do an image search for "boxers fracture cast" and you'll see that exact cast.

Not a doctor.

I have done my googling. If I had to choose wrist, fingers or boxers fracture, I'd choose boxers fracture. Seems like it's in the right spot to not mess with his shooting mechanics, if that's what it is. Here's hoping for the best of a bad situation.

I have a new question too. Would a boxers fracture require a pin/screw? If so, does it need to be taken out or can it stay in after the bone heals? Obviously pure spec.
