NEW ORLEANS -- Hornets center Tyson Chandler sprained his right ankle in the first quarter of New Orleans' preseason opener against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night.

A Hornets spokesman said Chandler was not expected to return.

The injury occurred under the Hornets' basket after Chandler stepped into the lane to help defend a drive by C.J. Watson. Chandler appeared to turn his ankle as he landed and immediately dropped to the floor, lying on his back until trainers helped him to the locker room.

The 7-foot-1 Chandler played a key role in helping the Hornets win a franchise record 56 games and the Southwest Division title last season, averaging 11.8 point and 11.7 rebounds during the regular season.













SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- New York Knicks forward Jared Jeffries fractured his left fibula at practice Thursday and is expected to miss six to eight weeks.

Jeffries, a 6-foot-11, seventh-year pro, pulled up in the backcourt during a scrimmage and was immediately waved off the court by coach Mike D'Antoni. Jeffries' lower leg was wrapped in an ice pack as he sat out the rest of practice until some light shooting at the end.

Jeffries said he jumped and when he landed felt his muscle tighten up, describing it as "more than a cramp."

Jeffries contributed little during his first two seasons in New York, but was expected to have a larger role under D'Antoni because of his ability to play small forward as well as power forward.

Meanwhile, center Eddy Curry didn't practice again while recovering from a bacterial infection. He hasn't practiced since the team arrived at camp and D'Antoni didn't know when he'd be available.

"I think he's just sick. There'd be no other reason because it's not like you want to hang out at the hotel all day," D'Antoni said, adding that it's unlikely Curry will practice before the team leaves town Saturday.

To big Injuries OMG I feel bad for both teams

Phoenix Suns forward Amare Stoudemire missed practice Thursday with a partially torn iris after being poked in the eye during practice Wednesday.

Stoudemire, who returned to McKale Center on Friday night, said he wouldn't be able to exercise for another five to 10 days because of the injury.

"I can't catch a break," Stoudemire told the Arizona Republic. "I can't get my heart rate up because my blood pressure rises and it goes to my eye. I don't want that or the eye will bleed."

Suns center Boris Diaw inadvertently poked Stoudemire in the right eye during practice, and Stoudemire awoke Thursday with swelling and blurred vision.

An examination showed there was no damage to the retina or the cornea, according to the East Valley Tribune.

"He actually had some damage to his iris, which is not serious, fortunately," team GM Steve Kerr said, according to the Republic.

Stoudemire told paper he will likely wear goggles for the rest of his career.

"I don't want that to happen again," Stoudemire said.

Rick Carlisle is still adjusting to the Mavs’ shade of blue. But he had no problem summarizing Wednesday’s day at camp by working blue.

“I’m looking for a few assholes here,’’ said the coach.
