According to Gary Tanguay Big Baby Glen Davis has a broken hand and will miss 6-8 weeks. This sucks because Glen's a great role player and can bring a lot of physical play that is necessary. I guess Sheldon Williams will be taking some of the minutes and I have all the faith in the world he can't screw things up in the 5-7 minutes he will play.
BTW
There are going to be in a lot of Celtics posts today.
***UPDATE***
Well this story is getting more interesting by the minute. Apparently Big Baby has a broken hand, because of a fight and the Celtics are not pleased....
"In the wake of a thumb injury sustained during a recent altercation, Celtics forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis likely will be suspended by the team, owner Wyc Grousbeck confirmed to the Globe this morning. Grousbeck initially reported that a suspension was "very likely" during an interview with Gene Lavanchy on the Fox 25 morning show.
"I've had enough of 'Big Baby,' so I'm going to start calling him Glen," Grousbeck told the Globe. "It certainly seems like there's going to be a suspension here."
While Davis could contest the suspension, standard language in player contracts allows for teams to take disciplinary action against a player for fighting. Davis broke his thumb in an altercation with a former college teammate, according to multiple reports, and could miss up to two months as a result of the injury. Grousbeck indicated that surgery to repair the break in Davis's thumb was a possibility (Boston.com)."
This is the kind of shit that the Celtics did not need. In the end, I don't think this will be that big of a story. It is basically mandated that if you get in a fight you get suspended, so I think the Celtics are just going by the rules. Hopefully Big Baby just accepts that and moves on...
