From Staff and Wire Reports

Point guard Kenny Anderson of the New Jersey Nets will sit out the rest of the season because of a broken left wrist, the team announced Monday.

Doctors decided to put a full cast on Anderson’s arm, and surgery remains a strong possibility, a specialist said.

Anderson suffered the injury a little more than a week ago when he was shoved to the court by John Starks of the New York Knicks while Anderson was going in for a layup. Starks was called for a flagrant foul and was fined $5,000.

Anderson, who blossomed into one of the NBA’s better point guards this season, his second, and averaged 16.9 points and 8.2 assists in 55 starts, was not immediately available for comment.
