Lands hard after hard foul by StackhouseAssociated Press
Mavs surge back, tie series with Suns 1-1
PHOENIX -- Phoenix guard Joe Johnson fractured a bone near his left eye when he was fouled on a layup with 19.7 seconds left in the first half of Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Suns and the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.
He was admitted to Good Samaritan Hospital and will undergo surgery on Thursday to repair the displaced bone. He will miss at least Game 3 Friday night in Dallas, the Suns said.
Johnson was fouled hard by Jerry Stackhouse and landed face-first on the America West Arena court. He was treated for several minutes, receiving six s ches to close a cut near his left eye. Referee Bavetta belatedly called it a flagrant foul.
Johnson stayed in the game, looking like a boxer who had just lost a fight, and made one of the two free throws before leaving the game for good.
He was diagnosed with a mild concussion and a fractured orbital bone and was to remain hospitalized overnight. A CAT scan came back negative, the Suns said.
Johnson, a fourth-year guard, has not missed a game over the past three seasons.

The infraorbital bone fracture must be pretty severe to require surgery. Wonder what kind of fracture it was.
I think he might be missing more than game three. Sucks for Phoenix. They're already a pretty thin team, benchwise, and now one of them (probably QRich) will have to start. That probably means that they will need more minutes from Jackson than his gimpy knee should play.
Johnson matched up well with Finley and Stackhouse. That's a HUGE hit.
Did they not call a foul on the play?
Did JJ not fall on the court?
I fail to see where the writer did something wrong.
Did you see the play? please watch it. This is a serious injury and if someone just reads this article and doesn't see the play will think: Damn that Stack, he's a ing thug.
That's unfair, don't you think?
I think the "fouled hard" part is what he is talking about.
I'm sure the suns are glad however if anyone of there starters had to be out it was Johnson or Q and not any of the big three.
That was a block, not a foul IMO. The kid just held on to the rim a little too long.
You're right. He'll miss more time than one game. The swelling will take a while to go down and he will be on anti-inflammatories/pain killers. When he does return, he will have to wear facial/eye protection and that could change his game and shooting. I don't like JJ or the Suns, but I do feel bad for him/them.

Was this the hit that Michael Corleone took from the crooked Irish NYC police capatain that gave Michael chronic sinus drainage problems?
LOL, it may have been the same fracture.
The best anatomy illustrator IMO is Netter. But I don't think that the images are available online. The broken and dislocated bone is on the lateral aspect (outside) of the eye, just above the zygomatic arch (cheekbone).
JJ will have a headache for a long time.
At least he didn't have his brains splattered on the court. That would have been bad.
No pic?
Note to Ray Allen on how to be a man...
I think it's too late at this point. He'd have to get rid of the dresses, makeup, and feminine products.Note to Ray Allen on how to be a man...
What it had happened if Bruce Bowen had made a foul like that to Ray Allen? Probably Bruce Bowen would be in Prison
No fue una falta!!!
Look at that... what a dirty play
Well Stack knew the floor was hard, that's why he invented gravity!
no kidding...there was NO foul on that play at all...Refs blew the call...
Lol User...very thing I said when I read a Suns fan saying that Johnson fell because Stack hit him. I was under the impression that gravity had something to do with Johnson falling.
Ray says Bowen did it.
"Bowen is up to his old tricks again. He couldn't get me in the game so he's trying to get Joe Johnson. I told the refs to watch him! *AHHHHHH!* Oh , I though I just saw Bruce over there in that shadow. Whewwww!" - Ray Allen
