Ramona Shelbourne just updated her site with the latest on Boom:

Basically it sounds a LOT more optimistic than this morning, and they're saying that it's more likely that the recovery would be 3 weeks...to the date of the injury (last Friday).  So that's not nearly as bad as it sounded at first.

We'll still have to wait until we hear from the hand specialist, but it doesn't sound like the coaching staff is that worried. 

Of note is the quote from Dunleavy regarding EJ playing some point.  He must really be impressing Dunleavy in practice and such.
