Spurs center-forward Matt Bonner suffered a broken bone on his right hand in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Pacers at AT&T Center.
It appeared he broke the fourth metacarpal -- the bone in the meat of the hand leading to the ring finger -- while attempting to block a shot by Indiana's Tyler Hansbrough late in the first quarter. He remained in the game after the injury, and actually made an 18-foot jumper after suffering the injury.
Bonner is to be re-examined on Monday, after which a timetable for his return will be determined.

Matt was playing well but was always soft against the top tier teams. It sucks he's injured, but right now I'd rather see the other players get more burn.

Hopefully not.Quote:

What a bunch of flip flops. First, Fans in the forum wanted bonner off the court. Now, its terrible news for the nba. Make up your minds. I thought the majority of you would be pleased.

Probably broke it with the ball hitting the ring finger straight on, on a defensive deflection.Quote:

Spurs record in the last 2 seasons(including the series vs. Dallas)..
when Bonner makes at least three 3-point shots in a game: 21-4 for an .840 winning %..
when Bonner makes two 3-point shots or less in a game: 48-38 for a .558 winning %..
hate him or love him, he does have a positive impact for this team, especially now since he's a bench player..nothing good can come out of this..best-case is Ian comes in and shows something, but that's unrealistic..
if Haislip is activated over Ian, there's not even any potential good that could come out..based on what I saw in preseason, Haislip is one of the worst players I've ever seen..hopefully it was just jitters, but I'm not even really basing my judgment on his shooting..
Every time Bonner has a decent season going, he severely injures something.
:depressed
Get well, Bonnnnnnnnnnner!
I wonder if Ian will get some PT because of this.
Hurt it playing D? Either you guys are joking or didn't see the game. He hurt it on an and-1 play, then somebody gave him 5 (didn't see the jersey #) and then he grabbed his hand.. so perhaps friendly fire. Playing D... :lol

Get well Matt.
Don't let the "eye of the tiger" go away during your healing.
