     also has a slight sprain in the left wrist.
2/25 Really bad news.  Cedric Ceballos will be out at least 6 to 8 weeks 
     with a fractured right wrist.  He will undergo more tests today [he
     said last night that he felt there was something broken in his left 
     hand as well, but it is not known yet if that is that case].  The 
     injury occurred when Loren Meyer took Ced down hard as Ced went up 
     for a dunk on a break.  Ced landed very hard (it was _very_ scary to 
     see).  Meyer was assessed a flagrant foul (Michael Finley was hit 
     with a tecnical for getting in Meyer's face and asking what the heck 
     he was thinking with the way he hit Ceballos).  He went to the 
     locker room after hitting the free throws, the Mavs scoring, and Ced 
     then intentionally fouled a Denver player so he could sub out.  He 
     did return to the game in the 2nd quarter and played the rest of the 
     night.
