    It's an annoying injury for sure... Just takes time to heal.. A lot depends on the type of break & if any ligaments were damaged, etc.

    It's a shame. We saw real growth in his game. Hopefully he'll take the time to work on his left.

    I would love to know why Nance thought it would be a good idea to posterize someone when the game was well over.

    He's trying to go hard no matter what the score is, that's the ish I like.

    Get well soon Larry, he's gonna be running the court full press using his left hand :)

    Nance probably needs to tone back his high flying antics a bit. He can be an effective player without having to try and throw down a ridiculous dunk every game.

    I blame Byron Scott for what happened to his wrist. Left a rare form of evil stink on him and has affected his balance. I actually noticed this a couple games ago.

    it might not have been that bad, pain-wise. my broken wrist hurt, but it wasn't like i imagined a broken bone would hurt. couple of my ankle sprains definitely hurt worse. but the recovery period is longer, and when it's over, you just feel really weak in that area. i did use it as an opportunity to strengthen my off hand, though. maybe larry will do some of that.

    Not an exaggeration to say if this was regular season odds are prime Kobe puts a splint on it, makes some big adjustments and then starts knocking down 3s again with little to no time missed.

    Didn't Artest come back absurdly quickly from an injury, too? Like I'm days rather than months?

    I'm glad this wasn't during pre-season and it's summer league instead, but it still sucks because of the progress he had made. He was clearly working hard on improving his shot, and now he won't be able to keep that up for a few months.
