Danny Green, the Spurs starter at shooting guard in 46 games this season, was relieved Monday when an MRI exam of his sore right wrist revealed no physical damage.
Green said he first injured the wrist in the team’s March 11 win over the Bulls in Chicago when the wrist was bent at an unusual angle as he tried to secure a loose ball. A subsequent X-ray showed no damage to the bones or ligaments. Green said the pain was believed to be caused by a bruised nerve and has continued to play with the discomfort. He has made 10 of 18 3-point shots since the injury and joked that it has improved his shooting stroke.
Nevertheless, he was relieved when the precautionary MRI corroborated the results of the X-ray.
More good news for us. I was a little worried about losing him again.
