An MRI of Baron Davis’ sprained left ring finger was described as “inconclusive” by the LA Times’ Lisa Dilman on Saturday. In the 48 hours since, a more decisive diagnosis was appararently made, if we’re to believe the following scoop that appeared just an hour ago on the Boston Globe’s website, courtesy hoops scribe Marc J. Spears :
An NBA source told The Boston Globe on Sunday night that the Clippers are fearful that newcomer star guard Baron Davis could miss as many as 4-6 weeks due to a sprained ring finger on his left hand that could require surgery. The two-time All-Star is expected to learn how long he will be out and whether he needs surgery during a doctor evaluation on Monday. Davis sprained the ring finger on his left hand at practice last Friday.
