The MRI exam on Josh Howard’s left (non-shooting) wrist performed this morning revealed a moderate sprain. Howard will be evaluated again in about a week. The injury occurred in last night’s game against Chicago when Howard hit the floor after falling over Bulls guard Ben Gordon.
“We’re looking at 5-7 days and he’ll be ready to go,” Avery Johnson said. “We got a break there. It could have been worse.”
He went through limited drills during practice today. Even though he was wearing a soft cast from his lower arm up to his hand, Howard beat Johnson in a shooting contest.
“It didn’t stop me too much,” Howard said.
Howard was the team’s leading scorer in the preseason averaging 16.1 points and shooting 55.1 percent. He’s sitting out the first two games of the season serving a two-game suspension, but should be fine for the AAC home opener Nov. 3 against Sacramento.
“I’ll be ready for my season opener,” Howard said.
