This is from the
Oklahoman.It doesn't sound like anyone is very optimistic and there's the gross part about blood in his elbow that doesn't sound good at all.I would guess that they heard something today,but I can't find anything newer.In fact it sort of sounds like they expect him to miss all four games this week.You could look at it optimistically as an oppurtunity for the rookies to gain PT and confidence and for Jackson to get back in the flow.Of course it would be pretty nice to have your second best player too.
Hornets coach
Byron Scott said before Saturday night's game at Minnesota that he didn't have an update on how power forward
David West is progressing from a strained right forearm.
"I have not talked to (team trainer
Terry Kofler) about David,"
Scott said. "Honestly, I have no clue and probably won't know anything until (today)."
Scott, however, didn't sound optimistic about
West returning to the lineup this week.
West missed his third straight game Saturday, and when asked the chances of
West missing an extended period of time,
Scott said "50-50." Last week
West told the
New Orleans Times-Picayune that doctors told him swelling and blood inside his elbow was pushing on a nerve, causing him not to be able to extend his fingers on his shooting hand.
