Jefferson actually injured his finger in game 1

[LunaticWolf]

Jefferson did frighten the Jazz, though, when he hurt his right hand late in the third quarter and did not return.

The Jazz initially said he had a bruised knuckle, but Jefferson later indicated the pain actually was on the padding underneath the knuckle on his right index finger.

"It feels good," Jefferson said. "It's sore. But I hurt it the first preseason game, and it's kind of like 'it's never gonna heal,' because that ball always is gonna hit right there.

"Tonight I just bent it all the way back, and it was just fast. I can play with it regardless, but it's never gonna heal. It's something I'm gonna have to just suck up and deal with."

Well, hopefully he'll be ready to go next Wednesday.
If it was Boozer, on the other hand, we'd probably won't see him til December.

Yep, because this post is pure sarcasm and a complete shot at a former jazz player, right? Funny that I would do something like that, even though I was one of his supporters, huh...

Al Jefferson saids he'll be fine

Al Jefferson said he will be able to play with his bruised knuckle.
The concern is that the injury is to Jefferson's right (shooting) index finger, but he says he'll be fine. "I hurt it the first preseason game, and it never healed because the ball is always going to hit right there," said Big Al. "I just bent it back real good. I can play with it. It's just something I have to deal with." We're not moving him down our draft boards unless the Jazz show more concern this week

I wonder if they'll try to get him in or just wait till the start of the season. Seems like he's been playing with the injury and we didn't even know

If Snoozer bruised his knuckle, he'd be out for the season.

 

[unluckyseventeen]

I'd sit him for the rest of the preseason.. have him run some more conditioning drills in the meantime.

If Snoozer bruised his knuckle, he'd be out for the season.

Oh, come on man. What's with the blow. We all know that isn't true.

It'd be 2.

If Snoozer bruised his knuckle, he'd be out for the season.

He'd be getting paid, regardless.

I liked Al's comment as to where's our trophy after winning the battle of EL LAY.

Al Jefferson hurts his hand by blocking Pau Gasol's shots, Boozers hurts his hand by tripping over gym bags.
