Ron Higgins of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports that the Grizzlies are likely to be without the NBA's leading three point percentage shooer for the next three weeks after Wesley Person fractured his right index finger in the team's loss to Utah.

The fracture was revealed on Monday after Person had an X-ray, and it looks like he could be out until Jan. 13, when the team travels to the Bay Area to take on the Golden State Warriors.

Person said he wasn't sure when the injury happened.

"Late in the second quarter, I was throwing a pass to Drew (Gooden) and I might have run into somebody when throwing the pass," said Person, who's averaging 9.7 points and is shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 52.3 percent on three-pointers. "The finger is swollen bad and that's the most important finger I need shooting the ball. I hope I can get the swelling down."

"The most important thing is to get back the range of motion," Person said. "I can't bend it. When it happened, I thought it was an ordinary jammed finger. But it kept swelling and I couldn't shoot after trying to warm up at halftime."
