Injury Report #UCDavisHealthSystem: Jason Thomspon (stitches, right ring finger) is out for team's 3 upcoming games.
Injury Report #UCDavisHealthSystem: DeMarcus Cousins (sore right ankle and wrist) didn't practice today. He is questionable for next game.

Well this happened randomly I must say. The life of a Kings fan, boy I tell ya....

I would think Cousins will play. What I find interesting is Jason Jones said if Cousins plays, Darnell will start. If Cousins doesn't play, Dally and Landry will start. Only way Landry starts is if Cousins can't go, apparently.

I don't know where that cut is on Jason's finger, but can't they just pad and tape it up? Not like his hands can get any worse.

Great, just in time for their home stand.

wait what?

3 games for a cut? They can't be serious...

A cut with stitches... about right, a weeks worth of games.

Yeah, that had my head scratching too bro. The only reason I can see why he is sitting out three games is because the medical staff told him to. Knowing JT, he would play through it, hell, he's played through much worse and he is our toughest player besides Reke.

You guys wouldn't know showcasing if it came up and bit you on the nose.

Highly doubt they're showcasing Cousins.

From an article on FCP:

Forward Jason Thompson also did not practice. He received seven stitches in the webbing of his right hand after injuring it in the fourth quarter of Friday’s tilt in Oklahoma City. He will not participate in the next three games, and will be re-evaluated after the Kings face the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.

Lacerations are different than internal injuries cause they need to heal from the outside and can open up very easily. I doubt this hurts him any more than other injuries he's had. It's just tough to maintain it if he plays.

This. From experience, cuts like the one JT has will open like tissue paper if you tweak it just right.

I like that move. You keep the bench players in their roles and move the player behind them up.

Webbing cuts can be tough, but then agian, tape the fingers together and...?

How'd he get cut that badly in there playing basketball anyway?

I heard it was on last of his couple of dunks (or maybe only dunk) in the game at OKC.

Thompson was injured in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss at Oklahoma City and received seven stitches.

"I went for a block and got my finger sliced in between the rim and the backboard," Thompson said. "I thought it was just bleeding but then they opened it up and I could see things that weren't too pretty."
