While the details of Glen Davis’ altercation with an LSU teammate and friend are still unknown, his broken thumb is not expected to be season ending.
The question at this point is what kind of surgery, if any, will be required and how long will the recovery time be.
Here is Yahoosports’ Marc Spears’ tweet…
while source says big baby will be out for a while with thumb after defending himself in fight with friend, not season threatening
and followed by this…
possible timeline on big baby’s time off floor could come today. are u ready for shelden!
Shelden is Shelden Williams, the previous Atlanta Hawk lottery pick that the Celtics signed in the off season for the veteran’s minimum. He was a college star center at Duke University. He has played well in limited minutes in preseason and should capably fill in, until Davis and/or Brian Scalabrine return.
While Williams has struggled offensively as a pro, he will be a strong interior defender for the Celtics. His nickname at Duke was ‘The Landlord’, because you had to pay him rent if you tried to enter ‘his’ real estate – the painted area around the basket.
The Celtics open the regular season tonight in Cleveland against the Cavaliers.
