Paul Pierce out!

Brooklyn Nets' forward will be out for 3-4 weeks due to a fracture on the third metacarpal of his right hand.

The injury-plague continues in Brooklyn. Pierce joins the list formed by the guard Deron Williams and the shooting guard Jason Terry. The player abandoned the field last friday when his team was defeated by the Houston Rockets.

Pierce is not at his regular level in the beginning of this season. He is only averaging 12'6 points per game with a 38'6 %. The player does not seem to have adapted to his new franchise and the rythm proposed by his  coach, the debutant Jason Kidd. 

Paul will not participate on the first battle for the city that does not sleep. Nets will receive the New York Knicks on Thursday. The Knicks, as Brooklyn, are trying to find its course on the league. Finally, Paul Pierce will not play against his former team, the Boston Celtics, in which he established himself as an star within the league, and where he won a ring in 2008,being the MVP of the finals.
