Nuggets F Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points and had a season-high nine assists despite suffering a "probable" fracture in his right hand in the Nuggets' victory over the Pacers last night.
The team, which described the injury as a "probable" fracture, said it doesn't know how much time Anthony will miss. He's going to see a specialist today.
Anthony injured his hand when the ball was slapped away early in the third quarter. He continued playing, but frequently grabbed at his hand. He had the Nuggets trainer check it out a few times when play stopped and then left for good late in the fourth quarter.
"It's sore and stiff right now," said Anthony, whose hand was numb for most of the second half.
