Mavs' Terry says return will be soon

DALLAS -- Mavericks standout sixth man Jason Terry, his broken left hand
still heavily wrapped after surgery, hopes to be shooting again as early as
next week.

What remains unclear is when he will again be the first man off the bench for
Dallas.

"Well, I can go tonight, but I don't think the doctor is going to let me,"
Terry said with one of his characteristic grins Thursday night before the
Mavericks' home game against Boston. "It's going to be sooner than later.
We'll come out after the [All-Star] break and see how I am next week and
hopefully start shooting, get back out there."

After getting hurt in the second quarter Saturday night against the Chicago
Bulls, Terry optimistically said he hoped to be back in three weeks. The Mavs
haven't put a timetable on his return since the surgery Monday to stabilize
the break in his non-shooting hand.

Terry, the Mavs' second-leading scorer (19.9 points a game), said he got hurt
when his hand got caught up in the jersey of teammate J.J. Barea, or maybe a
Chicago player, while going for a loose ball. Terry described the injury as
"a twist fracture" where his hand twisted and snapped, though he played the
rest of the half.

"It was just an unfortunate play. It sounds like a freak accident," Terry
said. "I knew something was wrong. I felt a sharp pain. ... You could feel it
throbbing. It didn't swell up too bad but it was a red mark, which I knew
something was wrong."

With Terry out, coach Rick Carlisle is being forced to use several different
players to fill the void.

"A guaranteed 20 points off your bench, that's like gold in this league. ...
We've got to have a lot of guys step up," Carlisle said. "You're losing not
only a terrific player, but you're losing one of the real compelling
personalities on our team."

Terry smiled while greeting teammates in the locker room.

Including the two games this week, Terry has missed only 14 games in his 10
NBA seasons. Only Philadelphia's Andre Miller (five) has missed fewer games
in that same span.

"It's tough. This is the first time it's happened in my career that I've had
injury that's been major," Terry said. "I call this major, but I don't think
it's going to be that serious. I haven't missed this much time. It's
obviously an adjustment for me, but just staying positive, staying around the
guys is going to help me."
