New Orleans Hornets center Jamaal Magloire will be out up to three months with a dislocated right ring finger.

Magloire was injured in the fourth quarter of the Hornets' 95-86 loss at Phoenix on Friday and flew back to New Orleans for treatment. He will not need surgery.

The team said Monday that Magloire's finger would be in a splint for eight weeks and then he will rehab for four weeks.

Magloire, an Eastern Conference All-Star, has averaged 14 points and nine rebounds per game in 11 games this season.
