Jamison's Season Over

In what has been a painful season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Their season just got more painful. Jamison fractured his left little finger during Sunday's game at the Q against Philadelphia.

Antawn was examined on Monday at the Cleveland Clinic and x-rays show that surgery will be required to repair the fractured finger. The surgery will be scheduled tomorrow at the Marymount Surgery Center.

The injury is a huge blow to the NBA worst. The Cavaliers have been hit with injuries all season long. Anderson Varejao who arguably is the Cavaliers best player has been out for most of the season with a torn peroneus tendon in the right ankle. Boobie Gibson, and former Cavaliers Mo Williams and Leon Powe also battled injuries.

However, Jamison's injury is one of the biggest blows. Antwan Jamison was without question the Cavaliers leader and scoring leader at 18 points per game. Jamison also averaged 6.7 rebounds a game and was a true professional in the locker room.

With Jamison gone the Cavaliers will get even younger, putting more minutes on the rookies. Jamison's injury will give Samardo Samuels and Ryan Hollins more minutes. It also will open things up for newly acquired Luke Harangody and Semih Erdan.
