Rockets' Ryan Anderson cuts thumb on trash at home

Rockets forward Ryan Anderson "lopped off" a piece of his right thumb on a piece of broken glass on Sunday, making it unclear whether he will be available to play Wednesday in the Rockets' final game before the All Star break.

"I was pushing something down the trash chute and a piece of glass chunked a whole piece of my thumb off," Anderson said. "It was bleeding for about an hour. I had to go to the emergency room. I'll live though.

"It literally lopped off the whole thing. I'll have a divot in my thumb for a while."

The Rockets did not have a practice Monday, other than players that came in for shooting drills and treatment, but Anderson said he would not have been able to play on Monday. Anderson is averaging 13.8 points, making 40.4 percent of his 3s.

"I would not be practicing today," Anderson said. "I'll go for it (on Wednesday) but we'll see how this guy heels. Unfortunately, you have to use your hands a lot in basketball, especially your shooting hand. A basketball hitting it and opening it would not be a good thing. In two days, it could be better."
