Pacers' Bradley: Partially Functional for Saturday
21 Dec
Summary
- Bradley will be available to play Saturday against the Pelicans.
- His fractured right thumb is only partially functional with a splint.
- He may serve a defensive role but won't be a major rotation player.
Indiana Pacers player Bradley is expected to be available for the team's upcoming game on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Rick Carlisle stated that Bradley's fractured right thumb is currently only "partially functional" due to a splint.
While this availability might allow Bradley to contribute defensively as a "big body," it's not anticipated that he will play a substantial role in the team's rotation. Fantasy basketball owners should temper expectations regarding his potential output.
This situation highlights the challenges of playing through injuries, especially with a "partially functional" limb. Bradley's fantasy value is significantly diminished as he returns to the court under these circumstances.
