Hughes Still Can't Bend Finger On Shooting Hand

Akron Beacon Journal - When Larry Hughes tries to make a fist with his right hand, it looks like he's making an obscene gesture.

That troublesome right middle finger, subject of plenty of woe, tiny screws and small incisions, is still not completely healed. Despite an offseason full of rest, the knuckle is still swollen after the two operations that cost him 41 games last season.

Nonetheless, Hughes insists he's feeling better and hopes it won't affect his game once this season gets going.

``I'm not a hundred percent. It is not where it was,'' Hughes said. ``I don't have any problems with it. I can reach with it, I'm able to block shots, everything I couldn't do last year I can do now.''
