Sixers’ Coleman suffers broken finger

 
01.23.2004

Philadelphia, PA (Basketball News) - Philadelphia 76ers forward Derrick Coleman fractured his right pinkie finger in Friday night’s loss to Orlando and will miss at least six weeks.

Coleman was hurt in the first half, and had the injured finger placed in a cast. He’s missed 13 games already this year with various injuries.

Leading rebounder Kenny Thomas also left the game with a corneal abrasion in his left eye, suffered when he took an elbow from Orlando’s Zaza Pachulia while the two fought for a rebound late in the first quarter.

The Sixers lost the game to Orlando, 98-93, after trailing by as many as 13 points in the second half with the two starters out.
