Glen Davis has suffered a right thumb injury and could be lost to the Celtics for a significant period of time.

He underwent X-rays today and will have to get further tests to determine the full extend of the dame. Surgery could be required.

According to sources, this was a non-basketball injury. It happened Sunday night when he got into an altercation with a friend, a former teammate, who was visiting from Louisiana.

Davis was reportedly defending himself.

Doc Rivers said after today that he was unaware of the circumstances, but sources said the club has been fully apprised of the situation.

As expected, the Celts are not pleased. Davis is said to be extremely upset, too.

This is terrible news. But at least we'll get to see if Williams can step up.

This clearly settles who will be on the active roster and who will not.

Baby, Walker and Tony Allen will not be active to start the season.

That leaves Brian Scalabrine or Shelden Williams as our backup PF or 4th big.

I'd imagine Scal sees the majority of Baby's minutes.

I guess the next obvious question is "Was alcohol involved and was there a police report filed?" If Davis was 'defending' himself, then it would be a good bet someone was intoxicated and doing some Grab***ing that got outta hand.

Just plain old bad. I really hope this doesn't turn out to be something really stupid, hopefully he was just defending himself.

I talked to CROTOR, and he said that Davis decided that punching a mailbox was a good idea.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

I always like when guys decide that controlling anger is punching an inanimate object instead of someone's face.  I have a feeling that if this is the case, a team suspension might be in order.
