Jackson To Have Surgery <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In yet another setback to the Philadelphia 76ers' frontcourt, center Marc Jackson will be sidelined indefinitely with a fractured left ring finger. Jackson broke the finger in the first two minutes of Tuesday's game against Toronto but played through the pain until the 4:14 mark of the second quarter. After an X-ray revealed the fracture, Jackson tried to convince team doctors he could still play. "Marc was very animated and very determined," team president Billy King said. "When he was informed that he would need surgery he said, 'I'll play the last 24 minutes and operate after that.'" Jackson will undergo surgery at the Philadelphia Hand Center on Thursday. Team officials said that they would not have a timetable for Jackson's return until after the surgery.</div> Full Story Can this season get any worse? We now have 5 people on the injured list and Allen and Derrick not in the best of shape either. Also Glenn will be out for another week: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Add to that the news that Glenn Robinson visited with a specialist who determined that he will be sidelined one to two more weeks with his left ankle sprain.</div> Full Story
I was watching the game when he broke it. The ring finger on the left hand. He ran into the locker room pretty fast. I didnt think it was too serious. Big loss for the 76ers. We have enough injury problems already.
