Udrih breaks finger

[macdude06]

DOnt know if its been posted...but he broke his pointer finger..heard it on ksat...they made it seem like he broke his leg in 6 places.... :dramaquee

[ashbeeigh]

Just heard it on K-SAT...he broke his finger. I bet he's crying a little.

[ashbeeigh]

Oh. Same idea!

[thispego]

How's he supposed to wave towells from the bench now?

[duncan228]

I'm not sure it needs one thread.
Never mind two! :lol

[ashbeeigh]

He's out 3-4 weeks to "rehab." He needs to get that towel hand back in shape. It was his "pointer" finger.



Now, if it was anyone else they'd wrap it up, suck it up and get back out there.
I forgot. It's Beno. He's probably got a juice box, an ice pack and is at home with his dog.

[ChumpDumper]

Out for the season, I imagine.

[SequSpur]

aahhhh shit.... lottery bound.

[George Gervin's Afro]

the most important question about this is , does it hurt his trade value?

[yavozerb]

This sounds similar to 2006 training camp. Beno comes into camp fired up trying to prove something and then gets injured. Its time to cut ties or if Cleveland is still interested in a 9 finger Beno (which could be better than 10 finger Beno) then send him packing..

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

OH NOES!

How will Beno accept all his friends on MySpace now?

Oh, the humanity!

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

They bring Spanoulis in future to replace him anyway.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

They bring Spanoulis in future to replace him anyway.

I'm pretty sure they can find another injury-prone baller on the streets of San Antonio.

[objective]

Wouldn't the broken finger pretty much save Udrih's job?

Usually vets get cut fairly early in camp to 'give them a chance to sign on with another team', but now, he doesn't have to beat out Vaughn or prove anything, he's got a month to relax.


They bring Spanoulis in future to replace him anyway.

Considering how big his buyout is, that's years away.

[ChumpDumper]

They bring Spanoulis in future to replace him anyway.Isn't he missing training camp too? Not very encouraging.

[Kori Ellis]

the most important question about this is , does it hurt his trade value?

I'm not sure his value could get any lower.

[picnroll]

Damn, cut down in the prime of his career by a broken finger. Any chance the Spurs will retire his number?

[George Gervin's Afro]

could we trade him to the toros?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

[MoSpur]

What is up with this guy?

[ploto]

So now he's faking a broken finger. :rolleyes

If it's his left hand, a broken index finger would make shooting a basketball a tad bit tough....

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I don't see anyone saying he's faking the broken finger.

I think what they're all doing is calling him an injury prone little bitch.

[ashbeeigh]

I think what they're all doing is calling him an injury prone little bitch.

Calling him? I thought it was a fact.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Flags are being lowered in remembrance of this shocking day.

May God have mercy on our souls.

[ChumpDumper]

Well, now we'll get a good look at Lever, et.al. and find out if we can just waive Beno.

[yavozerb]

To waive Beno would cost the spurs how much?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

To waive Beno would cost the spurs how much?

Much less than the pride they would recover.

[picnroll]

Posh is holding a prayrer service/happy hour tonight for Beno.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Posh is holding a prayrer service/happy hour tonight for Beno.

We need a club flyer! STAT!

[ploto]

Posh is holding a prayer service/happy hour tonight for Beno.
Now that's funny... :clap

[timvp]

Hey, you guys are being tough on Beno. He lasted two days at training camp without getting hurt. That tripled his personal all-time record. It's a step in the right direction :tu

[WalterBenitez]

the most important question about this is , does it hurt his trade value?

The most important question is .. where he had put his finger? :rolleyes

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I'm pretty sure they can find another injury-prone baller on the streets of San Antonio.

Rocket reporter Blinebury ask by fan Did Spanoulis lie that he promise play time by coach and GM and that coach refuse order of GM and bench him no reason you know so if Spanoulis lie just say so.

Blinebury say he NOT lie!

[Hemotivo]

Exactly, how he broke his finger?

[ChumpDumper]

Hey, you guys are being tough on Beno. He lasted two days at training camp without getting hurt. That tripled his personal all-time record. It's a step in the right direction :tuJust one day short of qualifying for jersey retirement.

[Solid D]

How did he break his index finger? Did someone hit him in the nose?

:smokin

[E20]

Me > Beno

I know it.
You know it.
Pop knows it.

Just smell the folgers cup and sign me already. I'm cheap too, my contract would be 100 dollars a game for me.

[hater]

that mexican punani must have been tight

[Spurs Brazil]

Jeff McDonald: Bad break for Beno
With Tony Parker taking it easy after his tiresome summer, the Spurs were looking forward to taking a good long look at backup point guard Beno Udrih in training camp.

So much for best laid plans.

Udrih is likely miss the rest of the preseason with a broken left index finger. He watched Thursday morning's workout in street clothes with a cast around his entire hand.

"Tony was going to start out kind of slow, so it was an opportunity for (Udrih) to get some minutes," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "It really is a tough break for him, no pun intended."

It is indeed bad news for Udrih, who is in the final year of his contract. He needs to use this season to prove his worth to the Spurs (or a potential trade partner or free agent suitor). So far, not so good.

[ChumpDumper]

I would seriously consider CJ Watson at this point. That's how ridiculous this has gotten.

[ploto]

No one wants to say who broke it!

[ducks]

horry broke it just like horry broke amares will to lose his cool and break the rules

[timvp]

No one wants to say who broke it!Solid D nailed it already.

[picnroll]

Actually he injured it sitting.

[ducks]

pop got mad at him and twisted his hand it it snapped!

[Bruno]

It's not really a big deal, Beno still know the team and will be ready to be the 3rd string PG for the start of the season.

[timvp]

It's not really a big deal, Beno still know the team and will be ready to be the 3rd string PG for the start of the season.It's actually a pretty huge deal for Beno. A player like him improves the most during training camp. He's been injured in every training camp he's ever had in the NBA.

That's part of the reason why he's so far behind.

[ChumpDumper]

Seriously, who ever expected Beno to improve after his second season?

[BeerIsGood!]

Out for an entire training camp with a broken finger? Are the days gone when guys played through broken fingers, or at least only let it take them out for a few days during a training camp? I know I've personally played basketball through several broken fingers without missing time and a lot of other people have as well. How does a broken finger keep him out for a month?

[smrattler]

the most important question about this is , does it hurt his trade value?

Not as much displaying his ball handling.

Hey, break all 10 fingers and he won't be able to dribble, his trade value might go up.

[WalterBenitez]

No one wants to say who broke it!

POP kicked? :wakeup

[Bruno]

It's actually a pretty huge deal for Beno.

Yes, but it's not a big deal for Spurs. I don't think Pop was ready to give the backup PG spot back to Beno.

It will too be interesting to see if Beno can be in shape for the start o the season. He will have the whole training camp to work on his physical with Spurs staff. Maybe Spurs physical trainers will be able to lower his body fat %.

UDRIH SUFFERS NON-DISPLACED FRACTURE OF LEFT INDEX FINGER

SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs today announced that Beno Udrih suffered a non-displaced fracture of his left index finger. The injury occurred this morning during practice.

Udrih was examined by team doctors and his left hand was placed in a cast. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

[barbacoataco]

The question for me is whether the Spurs will only have 2 PG's on the active roster this year. Since everyone is predicting Udoka to get playing time, it seems like they will have to only have 2 active PG's. I can't see Barry sitting on the IR making 5 million, especially since he is still one of the most accurate 3-pt shooters in the NBA.

Did this get posted anywhere? This seems like the most information....



Spurs' backup guard Udrih breaks finger at training camp

Associated Press

Updated: October 4, 2007, 4:30 PM ET

SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs guard Beno Udrih broke his finger in training camp on Thursday.

Udrih will wear a cast for a couple of weeks while his left index finger heals, and probably won't be able to do much for three or four weeks, said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.

Udrih didn't have as big a role on the team last season because veteran Jacque Vaughn took over as backup point guard to Tony Parker. Udrih is beginning his fourth season with the Spurs. He averaged 4.7 points in 73 games last year.

link?

[Walter Craparita]

Damn you Walter!

I thought the breaking news was that he finally got traded. :(

[tsb2000]

So, is that his "picking" finger? I hope not! :spin

[Ocotillo]

Beno: Pull my finger.

Horry: Get away from me, go practice your ball handling skills or something.

Beno: Pull my finger.

Pop: OK Team, Beno just got wind sprints for everyone.

Beno: Pull my finger.

Bowen grabs finger.

Beno: Ow, ow, ow, ow

Udrih was examined by team doctors and his left hand was placed in a cast. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
So let me get this straight, he hurts a finger and he has his WHOLE hand in a cast? There are such things as finger braces/casts right? WTF??

[exstatic]

Damn!!! I had picked "vagina contusion" in the work Beno injury pool.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Okay, we're all low on Beno, but jeez, the guy is cursed (as well as lazy). That probably just killed his NBA career for good.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

unlike all of you, I still like Beno


when he's on his game he's a really solid backup PG






I still have faith in him

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I would seriously consider CJ Watson at this point. That's how ridiculous this has gotten.

He play for PAOK Thessaloniki in Hellas.

LOL at all the macho bs here. If you all have never broken your finger stfu :rolleyes :devil :nope :smokin

You must have had a jammed finger, with no fracture or tendon tear or rupture. Let me tell you, I had suffered a mallet-finger(ring finger-right hand) playing basketball(just like the pic below) and that thing swelled up the size of a thumb. The skin area beneath the nail split open and was bleeding. I had a fracture, and torn tendon. You never guess how much pain and inflamation you would get in the weeks and months following. Simple things like putting on socks and shoes or pulling up pants etc would cause such pain and take forever. I had to have surgery and wear a splint for 6 months. Not sure if this is that bad, but I would not be laughing at a broken finger being a pansy injury.

[timvp]

Where are the French doctors when you need them? They were fine with Parker playing through a broken finger last summer.

We need to hire French doctors to specifically to work with Beno. French doctors don't mess around. Forget "No Blood, No Foul", French doctors believe "No Death, You Play".

[TDMVPDPOY]

pulln his finger out ofhis ass would help

[ChumpDumper]

This is the kind of stuff you can learn from the Amerigan media.

[Fillmoe]

I'm sure Udrihs vagina is hurting right about now.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

We're all sure.

[ChumpDumper]

He play for PAOK Thessaloniki in Hellas.Now that I think about it, maybe you were saying he played in Greece last season. That would make my post little more than grammar smack. I'm still going to have to let it stand....looks like he sucked there too....but I'd still probably take him over Beno....

Yes I think of last year but I not check to see if he still on rooster this year. Hmm yes he not play so great there. Compares Watson and Billy in Greece league Billy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>than Watson.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm sure Bill is better than Watson, but my point is I would rather have either of them or Langford or Washington or Lever instead of Beno.

[ShoogarBear]

We need to hire French doctors to specifically to work with Beno. French doctors don't mess around. Forget "No Blood, No Foul", French doctors believe "No Death, You Play".I think you're on to something.

Beno figured that Parker made huge strides by breaking his finger last year, so he's trying the same approach this year.

Maybe this will be the start of a new, reformed Beno. Dedicated to working on his game, playing through injury, and accepting responsibility for his own actions!

[toosmallshoes]

Was it his booger pickin' finger or his middle finger, or his pointer finger? Perhaps the pinky...? Depending on which finger it was this could make a huge difference to absolutely nobody.
