Boston big man Nikola Vucevic gives update on status of hand injury
"The good thing is I can still do some stuff on the court," said Vooch.
Just when he was starting to find a groove with his new team, Boston Celtics big man Nikola Vucevic broke his hand. It isn't the first time the Montenegrin big man has fractured a bone in his hand since joining the NBA, but that doesn't make it easier for him to swallow, either. "I was hoping on the X-ray (for) something different, but it showed a break," said Vooch via the Boston Globe's Gary Washburn.
"Frustrating with the timing, very obviously, always very frustrating when you get injured. " "The good thing is I can still do some stuff on the court," he continued. "That will help me for when I come back ...
hopefully I get a couple games before the playoffs, get back in rhythm with the guys that week between regular season and playoffs, everything's going as smoothly as possible. " When the play he hurt himself was unfolding, Vucevic did not even see how it happened. "I only saw it from the kind of angle where I see my back," he explained, suggesting that he got tangled up with another player's hand as they swiped at the ball.
"I assume our fingers got caught or something," he added. "All I felt was like a little pop, so I knew something was wrong right away. A lot of times you usually hope it’s just dislocated, you just try to put it back.
