Fortunately it doesn’t appear to be anything worse than that, but Jones likely misses a few games for this. He will be missed as he has had some strong games recently, such as 16 points against the Clippers and 17 against the Trail Blazers.

is it something wrong with howard and tjones?
we can't seem to have both on the court at the same time this season
Where did you hear this? I searched online I couldn't find anything other than "he's going to be out for a bit".
Speaking from personal experience, I hurt during a basketball game and it definitely hurt. That being said, I stayed in the game and didn't notice any bruising until the next day. Was pretty painful for a few weeks, but x-rays said no fracture. Seems like Jones was in a lot more pain than that so I wouldn't be surprised if he fractured it or even worse.Zubby wrote:Mad Max looks really good... he barely aged.
This. I noticed this too. I thought wow he looks like he's mid-late 30's...then I check Google and turns out he's almost 50 lol. Can say the same for Olajuwon. He looks like he could put up 10/5 in 24 MPG and he's 52!

Out of 185 games since 1985, The average number of shots it takes is 31.5.
