Phoenix Suns' reserve guard Leandro Barbosa has been kind of a fixture for the Suns' franchise during the 2000's. He spent his first seven seasons in Phoenix from 2003-2010. After not finding a home in the NBA this past offseason, he signed back up with the Suns in late January to provide some depth in the backcourt with Eric Bledsoe dealing with an injury.
The Suns may not have him for a while after he fractured his hand Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. He checked out of the game with 6:09 left in the second quarter due to the injury. He had it checked out to reveal a fracture in his left hand. He is not returning to action tonight.
Barbosa left hand fracture, expect a lot more of Ish Smith. #SunsVsClippers

Barbosa is averaging 7.8 points in 18.8 minutes. He's played in 19 games for the Suns this season.

Nuggets players model 1993-94 throwback jerseys that team will wear March 17 (PHOTOS)
Plenty of teams break out throwback jerseys from time to time, but the one that the Nuggets chose to wear for a home game on March 17 bears some significance that goes beyond just fashion.
In the playoffs that year, Denver became the first eight seed to knock off a one seed. The Seattle Supersonics club won 63 games during the regular season and featured Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp, but fell to the Nuggets in five games.
With the first round of the playoffs now the same as the rest of them — requiring four games to advance instead of three — it’s going to take a unique set of circumstances for that feat to be repeated. But if nothing else, it may remind the current players that despite the down season, it’s possible to rise up as an underdog when other teams least expect it.
