No matter what the Bulls try to push in the media what Boozer has is called a Boxer's Fracture. I've been a paramedic for 17 years and before that I worked as an orthopedic tech. I've seen tons of these and you don't get them from tripping. He definately puched someone or most probably something, like a wall.

What a dumbass.

wow I didn't know that KS...yeah there must be something wrong with him physically as he has put up some pretty decent seasons with Dallas..with what the Bulls have and what's out there I think he would be a great pickup

Have the whereabouts of Brian Scalabrine on Saturday been confirmed? There isn't a doubt in my mind that he was somehow a part of this.

Former Utah Jazz star forward Carlos Boozer has filed for a dissolution of marriage from his wife, Cindy, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned.

Proceedings for the divorce began Aug. 13, according to Miami-Dade County circuit court records. Records list Boozer, his wife — also known as CeCe — and three children as being involved in the case.

A Chicago Bulls spokeswoman said the team had no comment about Boozer’s pending divorce. Boozer signed with Chicago as an unrestricted free agent in July, agreeing to a five-year deal worth about $75 million.

The 6-foot-9, 266-pound Boozer underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a broken right pinkie finger. The former Duke standout is expected to miss two months of action.

Boozer said he suffered the injury on Saturday after tripping over a bag in his home while he was answering the doorbell.

A final hearing in the case is expected to occur later this month. A financial settlement between Boozer and his wife must be approved before the divorce becomes official.

Terry Fogel, a Miami attorney who represents Cindy, said Tuesday the couple has settled matters “amicably.”

“It’s all settled,” Fogel said. “It’s done. It’s over.”

of course not... boers and bernstein mentioned that they called their "peeps" and found out it was something else, but went out of their way to let us know that they know without letting us know what it is.

i've been saying sex/pimphand/etc for a minute now.

anyone have any insight into what the real story is?

DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Carlos Boozer called a New York Daily News report that the Bulls were questioning his version of how he injured his finger and were investigating "completely false."

Boozer said he hurt his right pinkie tripping over a bag while answering the door at his home Oct. 2. Citing unnamed sources, the newspaper claimed the Bulls wanted to know if that was true.

"The guy was trying to create a story out of no-story," Boozer said of the report after Bulls shootaround Tuesday morning. "Horrible [report]. Obviously, you want to get your facts right before you decide to write something that's not true. Horrible report. My Bulls are behind me, my teammates are behind me. For me, it's disgusting when you have a reporter write something that's not true."

Boozer, who over the summer signed a five-year deal worth as much as $80 million, expects to have his cast off in three weeks. He hopes to return faster than the eight weeks that was anticipated by team doctors.

"I hope I'll be back quicker than the normal time," he said. "But [I'll] let the bone heal and see how it feels when I get my cast off in three weeks."

Boozer admitted that he was upset by the report but said he was just trying to focus on getting back on the floor.

"I can't worry about that, man," he said. "I can't worry about what people write. I know what's real and what's going on and for me, I'm just here for my team, supporting my team. I've got the support of my team, my organization, and I'm just looking to forward to getting back out there when my hand's ready."

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau referred to the situation as a "non-issue" after practice Monday.


"From what I understand, there's nothing to it," he said. "I spoke to [general manager Gar Forman] [Sunday] and the team's not looking into anything. He tripped over a bag and he got hurt."
