The San Antonio Spurs today announced that Francisco Elson has suffered a blow-out fracture of his left eye orbit. The injury occurred on August 19 in a game against Belarus when Elson was stuck by an errant elbow.

Elson was examined earlier today in San Antonio. He will have surgery within the next week. Elson is expected to be able to resume limited basketball activity one week after his surgery. Elson should be cleared for full contact by mid to late September. The injury will force him to wear a protective face mask throughout the 2007 preseason.

I bet he wears the mask all year. Actually, this article looks the same as Kori's, but it says that he'll wear the mask all year and not just in preseason. Interesting tidbit.

This could be a real plus for intimidation on the court - we get him one of those Friday the 13th style hockey facemasks...

Good try, though, Viva.
