    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest is day to day due to a sprained thumb that is not damaged as badly as originally thought.

    Artest flew to New York on Monday to have the thumb examined by the doctor who repaired torn ligaments in it when Artest was a sophomore at St. John's.

    Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said on Tuesday that the ligaments on Artest's non-shooting hand were torn again, but after trainers examined an MRI taken in New York, it was determined that the thumb was only sprained.</div>

    This probably won't affect him too much, although seeing as it is affecting his main weapon, his stealing hands. He's a very tough player, plus it's not too bad or serious. No problem for this lean, mean, defensive machine. His team really needs him anyway, their success has greatly been due to his success as well.
