It was announced during the game. 

 

Bobcats lead Dallas by 3 late in the 4th quarter....

Indication is MKG broke his hand driving to the rim in the third quarter. About six minutes into the second half.

#bobcats say MKG's fractured left hand will be re-evaluated tomorrow in Charlotte. I don't know when he was hurt.

 

 

Edit:  It's confirmed that he will miss between 4-6 weeks, so he'll be back sometime in early to mid January.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Bobcats forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist became the latest former Kentucky star to be sidelined four to six weeks with a broken left hand.

The Bobcats announced Wednesday that Kidd-Gilchrist, the No. 2 pick in the 2012 NBA draft, suffered a non-displaced fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his left hand during Tuesday night's game at Dallas.

Terrible. Gotta feel for MKG

Yep, changes the complexion of the starting lineup a bunch. Especially defensively. 

 

as for the game... 

 

Bobcats loose a 12 point lead over the last two quarters and now trail by 5 with roughly 1 minute left in the game.

Sigh

Probably out 4-6 weeks on the low side just like Anthony Davis.

I feel like we would have won if MKG was out there last night.

[GamecockSmitty4]

Sucks. Hopefully he'll come back aggressive and try to prove something. This offense is killing his future, IMO. He's not that bad of an offensive player but Clifford is telling him to just stand in the corner and stay out of the way.

odd, just last week i said i wanted to see Taylor in the starting lineup for a month..

[cdandi1]

So the next question is..does clifford play a hendo/taylor sg-sf combo or more gordon/hendo?  Regardless, we'll probably see more Gordon over the next 4-6 weeks.  

[bLACKpANTHER]

PG - Kemba - Sessions

SG - Hendo - Gordon

SF - Taylor - Tolliver

PF - McBob - Zeller - Adrien

C - Al - Biz - Adrien

Blessing in disguise. Now lets start losing on the way to Parker!
