August 18, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors
With all of the basketball being played this summer, it’s almost surprising that more guys haven’t gotten hurt.
Injury-riddled Knicks center Ronny Turiaf suffered a broken finger in his left hand and is expected to be out for about 4 to 6 weeks, which could cause him to miss the start of training camp if the NBA lockout is resolved in time. Training camps are scheduled to open during the last week of September, but that could be delayed as a result of the lockout.
The injury ocurred while Turiaf was going for a rebound playing for France on Tuesday against Great Britain in an Olympic Test event in London.
