Jazz player's injury under scrutiny Utah mum about reported incident involving Whaley By Tim Buckley Deseret Morning News http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,635168769,00.html The Jazz would not comment Tuesday on information suggesting rookie big man Robert Whaley was involved in an incident at a Park City bar that may have led to his being cut in the hand. 爵士球團星期二並未對他們的新秀長人Whaley捲入公園市的一起事件當中一事 發表任何看法，這起事件可能是導致Whaley手受傷的真正原因。 Whaley needed six stitches to close a laceration in his right hand over the weekend, and on Monday he blamed the injury on a kitchen-knife mishap involving his 2-year-old son. Whaley的右手在週末縫了六針，星期一他說那是因為他兩歲大的兒子玩菜刀所 造成的意外。 On Tuesday, however, Jazz officials were reexamining the story Whaley told both them and media members. 然而星期二爵士的官方人員開始對Whaley對他們和媒體所說的故事展開調查。 "I have no comments until I know all the facts," said Kevin O'Connor, the Jazz's senior vice president of basketball operations. 「在了解整件事情的來龍去脈前我沒啥好說的。」爵士籃球事務副總裁Kevin O'Connor說。 Later Tuesday night, KSL-TV Ch. 5 reported that Whaley was thought to be involved in a skirmish at a popular private club for members in Park City. 星期二晚間，KSL電視第五頻道報導說Whaley捲入了一場小衝突當中，這場事件 發生在公園市一家頗受歡迎的私人會員式俱樂部裡。 It's believed Whaley and at least one teammate were at the night club when an incident developed involving them, other patrons and a bouncer employed by the bar. 據信Whaley和至少一名的隊友在衝突發生時在這家夜店當中，衝突還波及了另 外一些顧客以及酒吧雇用的一名人員。 The Jazz players are thought to have been questioned by Park City police, but neither was arrested or charged in the matter. 爵士的球員們稍後接受公園市警方的偵訊，不過並沒有被逮捕或罰款。 On Tuesday night, a Park City police dispatcher said the department would not discuss the case until sometime today. 星期二晚上，公園市警方的一名人員說直到星期三他們才會開始處理這起事件。 Whaley, a second-round draft choice from tiny Walsh (Ohio) University, did not play in Monday's win over Detroit because of the cut on his hand. Whaley是今年爵士由Walsh大學選來的第二輪新秀，由於他的手傷，他並沒有參 加星期一晚上對底特律的比賽。 He was not expected to play in tonight's Delta Center game against the Portland Trail Blazers, either. 在今晚對波特蘭的比賽中預計他也不能出場比賽。 Originally, Whaley said the laceration occurred after his 2-year-old grabbed a knife from an island in his kitchen. 一開始Whaley是說他的傷是由於他兩歲的兒子在廚房裡拿到一把刀的緣故。 "I kind of scared him," Whaley said. "He turned around and just threw it, not knowing any better. And I kind of tried to block it, and it just caught me right on the web." 「我想我嚇壞他了」Whaley說：「他只好轉身把刀丟掉，因為他不知道該怎麼 辦，我試著去檔下刀，不過它還是劃過我的右虎口。」 Whaley, averaging 0.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in nine games this season, is expected to have the stitches in the area of his hand between the thumb and the index finger for another 7-to-9 more days. Whaley在此季的九場比賽中交出0.9分和1.9籃板的成績，他預期他的傷勢會在 7-9天好轉。 He had hoped to return to the Jazz lineup later this week. 不過他希望這個星期就能回到隊裡。 But now Whaley's future with the organization — he already was on a short leash with team officials — could be in peril. 但Whaley所規劃的未來現在看來有些危險了，他現在已經在球隊人員的管理下。 The Jazz selected Whaley and gave him a one-year contract worth approximately $400,000 — about half is guaranteed, and the rest becomes guaranteed only if he is still with the team as of Jan. 10 — despite a past that includes a statutory rape charge which ended in a mistrial when he was a high school senior in Michigan and two felony counts plea-bargained to probation stemming from a campus brawl at a community college in Kansas. 爵士隊在第二輪選中Whaley並給他一年40萬的合約，一半有保障，但另一半得要 他在一月十日前還待在隊上才給付。這是由於他密西根讀高中時曾捲入一宗強暴案 中，另外還有他在堪薩斯社區學院時也有被判緩刑的紀錄。 He also was suspended for two games without pay by the NBA at the start of the season for an incident in which he retaliated for an elbow to the throat by striking a member of the Los Angeles Lakers during a preseason game in Anaheim, Calif. Whaley也在季初就被NBA當局禁賽兩場，因為他在一場於加州安納罕舉行的季前 練習賽中揮肘攻擊一名湖人隊隊員。 Jazz coach Jerry Sloan told Whaley last June that he would get a chance with the team, but that the coach would not put up with "any nonsense" from him. 爵士教練史隆在六月跟Whaley說他願意給他機會為球隊效力，不過Whaley最好不 要再做出那種狗屁倒灶的事。 Now, Whaley may have some explaining to do. 現在，Whaley看來需要好好解釋一番了。 -- 又一個壞小孩，龍哥要再給他機會感化他阿 -- --
