Los Angeles Clippers forward Caron Butler suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand with 2:38 remaining in the third quarter of last night’s 99-98 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in game one of their first round playoff series.
Butler underwent an x-ray at the arena during the game, which confirmed the injury.
Butler, who scored 12 points in 23 minutes played in Game 1, is expected to be sidelined for four-to-six weeks.

Three years ago, Dennis Schroeder promised his dying father than he would one day play in the NBA. Now, the 19-year-old is on the verge of fulfilling that promise.

Grizzlies can't find enough offense to beat the Spurs lose in OT 104-93. Defense alone isn't enough. http://t.co/4P3gHUkG1x
Good to meet you tonight my dude. Crazy how just playing hard can make all the difference. Keep grinding. @erav30osu
Jerryd Bayless is a classic example of how important the right situation is for non-stars. Prior to landing in Memphis he was lost.
