X-Rays taken in Tokyo following last night’s game revealed that Elton Brand has a hairline fracture of the fourth metatarsal in his right foot. The fifth-year power forward is expected to be out of action for approximately four to six weeks.

The injury was diagnosed by Dr. Steven Shimoyama, a member of the Clippers’ Los Angeles-based medical staff traveling with the team in Japan.

Brand, who missed 18 games last season with a stress fracture in his lower left leg, logged 21 points, 15 rebounds and tied a career-high with eight blocks in last night’s 109-100 loss to the Seattle Supersonics, the season opener for both teams.

The two teams meet again Friday night in Saitama, Japan before returning home to the United States.

There he goes, fantasy owners.

This is why I passed on Brand at #3. He is ALWAYS hurt.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Who would take him at #3 anyways?

I don't have him in my Hoops.ws league, but I have him in all my other leagues. This sucks. I would not have picked him at #3... Maybe my third pick... But not #3 pick overall..

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I really considered him at #3 because he could play Center.

I screwed up though when I missed Nowitzki is C eligible.

As far as fantasy basketball is concerned just be happy that he broke his foot now and not towards the end of the season.
