Tyson Chandler of the New Orleans Hornets left Game 5 in the fourth quarter and didn’t return. The Hornets had a big lead on the San Antonio Spurs and didn’t need the services of their up-and-coming center. Reports indicate that if needed, Chandler should have been able to return.
Chandler is dealing with a mildly sprained toe but will be able to play in Game 6. The Hornets, who lead the defending champion Spurs 3-2 in their best out of seven series, will look to eliminate the Spurs in San Antonio on Thursday. The Spurs, on the other hand, will be trying to force a seventh game.
David West also suffered a minor injury during Game 5. West suffered tightness in his back, but didn’t see limited on the court and was able to keep playing. West finished Game 5 with 38 points, 14 rebounds, five assists and five blocks. Despite his slight injury, West will also definitely play in Game 6.
