Wed Nov 14 2012 | 22:01 | Greg Smith injures right hand on Wednesday |
Greg Smith injured his right pinkie during Wednesday's game against the Hornets. |
It didn't look good at all and there's a very good chance he tore ligaments or even broke one of his fingers. He was just getting back into the rotation after suffering a foot injury earlier this year. |

Greg Smith injured his left foot in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game and headed to the locker room. |

Sun Feb 19 2012 | 21:49 | Rockets ready to deploy rookie Greg Smith |
Rockets rookie center Greg Smith had two points, three rebounds and four blocks in his debut on Sunday, though he also racked up five personal fouls in 12 minutes. |
"We always need physical play, and that's what Greg brings," said Kevin McHale. "He'll body up bigs, he'll rebound, he's quick off his feet, and he's got good hands. Greg is just real young." It sounds like Houston is ready to make him part of the rotation, which is more bad news for Sameul Dalembert. |
