PHOENIX (AP)—The Phoenix Suns say doctors “manipulated” Marcin Gortat’s(notes)
broken nose back into place on Saturday and he is questionable for Sunday’s NBA
game against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Suns’ Polish center sustained a nasal fracture when his nose banged in
to the back of teammate Steve Nash’s(notes) head in the fourth quarter of Friday’s home
loss to the New Orleans Hornets.
Gortat, blood gushing from his nose, left the game for good after scoring 18
points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Phoenix lost 106-100 to deal a severe blow to
its sinking playoff hopes.
