Magic's Jodie Meeks: Suffers dislocated thumb Wednesday

Meeks suffered a dislocated right thumb during Wednesday's game against the Pelicans and will not return, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Meeks drew the start at shooting guard for the ailing Evan Fournier (foot), but was forced from the game after playing just 16 minutes, finishing with five points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two steals and two turnovers. An X-ray on the thumb came back negative, so it appears he's avoided any sort of fracture. That said, there's a chance he's able to play through the injury with a splint, although we should see his status updated ahead of Friday's game against the Bucks.
