Milwaukee Bucks rookie guard Ramon (rah-MAHN) Sessions sustained a left hand fracture in the team practice on Friday, February 1, General Manager Larry Harris announced today. Sessions was originally assigned to the Tulsa 66ers on November 8, 2007, before being recalled from the Bucks D-League affiliate yesterday. He is expected to miss six weeks of action.
Sessions appeared in 24 games (17 starts) with Tulsa, averaging a team-high 21.1 points (6th in the D-League), a team-high 7.6 assists (3rd in the D-League) and 6.5 rebounds (19th in the D-League) in 36.2 minutes per contest. His points, rebounds and assists add up to 35.2 per game, eighth in the league. Sessions is the only player to be named the D-League Performer of the Week twice this season, claiming the award on November 26, 2007 and January 28, 2008.
A 6-3, 190-lbs guard out of Nevada, Sessions was the 56th overall selection by the Bucks in the 2007 NBA Draft. He has been on assignment in Tulsa for the entire D-League season. He was joined by Bucks teammate David Noel on January 20. Sessions played in five preseason games with the Bucks, averaging 1.4 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 7.0 minutes of action.
The Erie Times-News reports: Former NBA basketball great Michael Jordan denies being the father of Lisa A. Miceli’s son. Two paternity tests, one ordered in Crawford County Court and the other agreed upon by Jordan and Miceli, support the claim. Now Jordan is claiming that Miceli’s fight to get Jordan to acknowledge fatherhood and provide support for the child has turned threatening and violent. He’s asking Crawford County Court to intervene. Lawyers for the five-time NBA Most Valuable Player say Miceli has sent hundred of e-mails and voice-mail messages to Jordan and others since the second paternity test was done in the late summer of 2005.
