Junior Sisk treated for hand injury

Event Details

Junior Sisk

Junior Sisk, known as much as an avid hunter as he is for his soulful singing voice, was treated last night for a cut to his left hand after a minor hunting-related accident.

While gutting a doe he had just taken, Sisk cut the outside of his left hand across the index finger knuckle. He described it as a “pretty bad” cut, and was still awaiting treatment when we last heard from him around 1:00 a.m. this morning.

We expect a more detailed statement shortly, but all was expected to be well once he got stitched up. I’m sure he’ll be sore for a while.

UPDATE 3:30 p.m. – It turns out that Junior’s injury was not so terribly bad. Five stitches is all that was required, in addition to a tetanus shot and a round of antibiotics. He expects to be able to play this weekend.

Great news!
