<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>ALMERE, Netherlands -- San Antonio Spurs center Francisco Elson left Holland's national team Wednesday after he was diagnosed with a fractured eye socket that is expected to sideline him for six weeks.</p> Elson sustained the injury from an elbow to the face during the Netherlands' 77-72 European Championship victory over Belarus in Almere, near Amsterdam, last week.</p> </div></p> LINK</p>
Spurs should be fine, Oberto and Splitter will be enough to carry the load while Elson is down and it's not like Elson played a big role through last season either.

Elson is just a garbage man in the paint, he gets easy buckets, defensive rebounds, etc. He doesn't have much of a role, but the center rotation of him and Oberto was very effective during the playoffs.</p> Yeah, Splitter won't be coming over anytime soon because of his buyout. </p>
