Shoulder Will Keep Hughes Out 6-8 Weeks

Oct 23, 2008 10:36 AM EST
Bulls guard Larry Hughes will miss six-to-eight weeks of action after dislocating his shoulder in Wednesday night's preseason win over the Timberwolves.

He dislocated his right shoulder late in the third quarter. Team sources claim that surgery can be avoided, but more tests will be conducted on Thursday and Friday.

"It's definitely tough because I was getting my touch back," Hughes said. "I've had different injuries before, so I'll figure what I need to do with rehab to get 100 percent healthy. I'm confident I can do that."

This opens up a lot more time for Hinrich at the 2, and more time for rose at PG.

wow, that's positive thinking. he just needs to add: "8 weeks out. that's great. this means I can't get injured for almost 2 months. team should pay me a bonus"

A Larry Hughes injury is like a Whottt meltdown; it's just not an NBA season without at least one or two.
