Starting Hornets center Jamaal Magloire fractured his right ring finger during the final minute of the game after deflecting a pass. It has not been determined how long Magloire will be sidelined, but it could be for more than five games.

With that prospect, Magloire looked shattered as he trudged through the locker room door after getting his finger examined by Hornets trainer Terry Kofler. One of his teammates asked him how bad was it, and Magloire spoke in a whisper.

He made the flight after the game with the team to Los Angeles but will return to New Orleans today to get re-evaluated by the team's medical staff.
