Eric Dampier: "Blood gushed out of the finger after the bone ripped through the skin"

[DJ Mbenga]

Erick Dampier is out indefinitely after suffering an open dislocation of his right middle finger. Dampier went to an Oklahoma City hospital immediately after the Mavericks' 99-86 loss Tuesday to the Oklahoma City Thunder to have the injury surgically repaired.
Blood gushed out of the finger after the bone ripped through the skin.
"It was frustrating," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said after the new-look Mavs lost. "I'm not going to make excuses about the trade. Right now, I'm just concerned about Damp's situation."

What a crappy season and that Humphries trade was really stupid.

[Kai]

Carl Landry's finger would have been fine.

[Ode to Triple Ocho]

Haywood came just in time.

wow talk about irony

[mavsfan1000]

Haywood came just in time.

Yep. This will force Carlisle to play the best center. Too bad Barea can't go down.

It can be arranged.

[JamStone]

Maybe Barea can donate one of his leg bones to repair the finger.

So he didn't make excuses about it 'cause he just avoided the subject altoghether.

Barea can't go down because at 5'5" he's already down.

I KNEW this was coming ...

A - there is a thread for this
B- Why kobe in every thread? Love? Jealousy? Envy? Penisenvy?

you say Lakers fans are his worshipers yet you guys post more about him than Laker fans.

Kobe is a pussy

Actually, this is the one thing I wouldn't describe Kobe as.

? Yes. Asshole? Yes. Ballhog? Absolutely. Rapist? Allegedly.

But pussy? Nah.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Wow. I've dislocated my fingers 4 or 5 times playing ball, and I got so I'd just pop it back in myself. But it hurt like and the crunching noise is horrific when you pop it back. I also broke my little finger once on a steal and that hurt like too, but it was just a small break, only needed a splint for 3 weeks and it healed itself.

I can't imagine dislocating it so bad that the bone comes through the skin. That's insane and obviously would need careful quick surgery. Lots and lots of pain involved, especially once you start doing physical therapy for rehab.

I feel bad for Eric Dampier.

[sefant77]

Penisenvy?

Wrong thread dude. Kobe has to retire "Black Mamba"
