A chip fracture, also known as an avulsion fracture, is when fragments of bone chip off the main bone because the ligament or tendon dethatched and pulled them off during the injury. Yes, it hurts. Treatment time depends on the size of the chip and other factors, they will know more after an CT scan on Tuesday, reports the Denver Post.
However, this is going to be in the ballpark of three weeks or a month, which is pretty common with this kind of injury.
This is incredibly bad news, and could lead to a continuation of the current 5 out of six skid. Sucks.

yes NN
I’ve been on this for a month. Will is not a star or great player, he is simply one of the players available that we need the most.
I compare him somewhat to Moz who is just an NBA baby as far as effectiveness/knowledge but he is as important to us as Gallo is.
About Will, we especially need his versatility. I have often noted that we are not as deep as we think we are and the injuries make us less deep and unfortunately suggest I was right, more right than I wanted to be.
what once looked like hopes to make it to the finals in this reduced season
has now got me wondering if we should go for the lottery in a deep draft!?
Only the Nuggets…
Only the Nuggets
While this would be an awesome draft to get into the lottery, I think the Nuggets will make the playoffs as a lower seed. While it’s not a perfect scenario, and barring any further major injuries (a big if this season), then Gallo should be full-strength by playoff time, as well as the rest of our roster. At the very least, this gives Gallo time to rest. Come playoff time, this team can still be scary. Of course, then we’re back to the whole George Karl in the playoffs debate.
well thats a nice positive take on situation
My fears are that present injuries, and those to come (how can you believe there wont be more?) may knock us out of even the 1st ten slots.
I dont see a scenario where we are over 500 after this month.
Frankly, there is no one to blame here. Injuries are a wild card that can crop up at anytime on any level and we’ve been dealt jokers since the trade.
I will root my tail off, my fingers will be crossed but all positive expectations will have to be put on the back burner.
