Austin Rivers breaks hand, out 4-6 weeks
Austin Rivers - G - New Orleans Hornets
March 7, 2013 - 12:10 AM ET

Austin Rivers suffered a fractured fourth metacarpal against the Lakers on Wednesday and will miss the next 4-6 weeks.

This could end his season since there are only six weeks left. Rivers shot just 37 percent from the field this year and he'll need to put in overtime during the offseason to improve his shooting. The Hornets will call upon Roger Mason to help Eric Gordon off the bench this year, but there's very little reason to add Mason in most leagues.
