Delonte West suffers finger injury DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks' depleted guard corps took a significant hit when Delonte West suffered a gruesome injury to his right ring finger. The Mavericks were already without sixth man Jason Terry (mild quadriceps strain) and combo guard Rodrigue Beaubois, whose father died unexpectedly Wednesday afternoon, when West fractured and dislocated the ring finger on his non-shooting hand during the second quarter of Wednesday night's 102-84 win over the Denver Nuggets. West will be "out for a while," coach Rick Carlisle said. West sat on the court for several seconds, covering the finger while it gushed blood, after he tried to strip the ball. The bone was sticking out of the finger and bent at an ugly angle. "It was disgusting," said Mavs guard Vince Carter, who reacted with a look of horror when he saw West's finger seconds after the injury. West has been a key role player for the 19-11 Mavericks this season. He has averaged 8.5 points, 3.5 assists and 1.6 steals in 23.1 minutes per game while playing significant minutes at both guard spots. West has filled voids left by two departed rotation players from last season's NBA championship team, replacing J.J. Barea as Jason Kidd's primary backup at point guard and providing the defensive tenaciousness and overall toughness that DeShawn Stevenson did last season. "We're going to miss him, but injuries are a part of the game," Mavs star Dirk Nowitzki said. "We've got to fight through it." Carlisle said the quad strain has been bothering Terry, the Mavs' second-leading scorer, but the team doesn't believe the injury is serious. Terry will miss Friday's road game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to personal reasons, Carlisle said. Beaubois will be away from the team for an undetermined amount of time after his father's sudden passing. That leaves rarely-used second-year guard Dominique Jones, who had four points and six assists in a season-high 31 minutes against the Nuggets, as the only healthy, available reserve guard on the roster. "We're going to need him," Carlisle said. "He's worked hard and this gets his feet wet for Friday." The Mavs have had their share of injuries this season. With Terry sitting, small forward Shawn Marion is the only player to have played in every game. Terry had his streak of playing in 126 consecutive games snapped. http://espn.go.com/dallas/nba/story/_/id/7579749/ West預計會缺陣一段時間，但明確的時間尚未公佈。他本季的角色 吃重，既要擔當Kidd的首席替補，又要扛起後場的防守，也就是一 個人要彌補JJB跟Stevenson兩個人的空缺。但是底薪簽來的他把這 樣的責任做的很好，超乎了大家的預期，可惜受傷了... Dominique Jones會替補他的角色，尤其是後天Terry跟波霸都確定 缺陣的情況下。他今天上場了本季新高的31分鐘，得到4分6助攻， 他是小牛唯一的替補後衛了。卡帥說DoJo一直很努力，下一場會給 他很多時間。 Shawn Marion是小牛本季唯一全勤的球員，Jet連續126場出賽的紀 錄也在今天中斷了。 -- 這季是縮水賽程 本來大家還擔心小牛的體能狀況 還好大家都沒受什麼大傷 只是最近突然陷入後衛荒 希望West不要休太久(Terry快給他仙豆XD) DoJo就好好把握機會吧~ --
