Yeah, the broken bone is bad for four reasons:
1: It's his second broken bone in hand injury for him. That's a sign that maybe there's a long-term issue there.
2: Missing a key player gives Casey cover for a mediocre record... I anticipate Casey placing a lot of the blame for mounting losses on the fact they're missing their starting C (even if the way he uses JV wouldn't make a difference in a lot of those losses).
3: The offense is going to go back to all the bad perimeter habits that they were beginning to show signs of moving away from; they can't make Biyombo a regular part of the offence, and unless Bebe is a major revelation, this is going to be a truly awful offense for the next while.
4: More losses, and a worse playoff position (which honestly is the least of the worries).
