Jefferson could miss start of camp

[headliner]

Spurs forward Richard Jefferson could miss the start of training camp after dislocating his right thumb.

 

Jefferson was injured Tuesday while working out at the Spurs' practice facility. X-rays were negative, and the 29-year-old swingman is expected to be re-examined next week.

 

The Spurs called the injury minor. Training camp begins Sept. 29.

Their biggest addition to this team may not be able to participate in training camp. It’s disappointing but at the very least he will be there for the start of the season.
