Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Steven Hunter will be out indefinitely after an MRI taken yesterday afternoon revealed a left fifth finger P.I.P. (proximal interphalangeal) volar lateral dislocation.
Dr. Randy Culp of the Philadelphia Hand Group evaluated Hunter this morning and recommended he undergo surgery. Hunter will travel to New York City this afternoon to receive a second opinion from Dr. Michelle Carlson, an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in hand surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
Hunter suffered the injury during the first quarter of the Sixers-Mavericks game on Sunday, Feb. 11, but returned to the game.
