Cleveland Cavaliers forward Antawn Jamison broke the little finger on his left hand in the third quarter against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Jamison was fouled while taking a shot Sunday in the Cavaliers' 95-91 loss to the 76ers. He immediately left the court and was taken to the locker room. Jamison was replaced by Ryan Hollins, who shot the free throws.

Coach Byron Scott said after the game he doesn't know how long Jamison, the team's leading scorer with an average of 18.1 points per game, will be out.

"We'll have a little bit more of an understanding on what's going to happen in the next day or so," Scott said.

Jamison scored 16 points in 30 minutes Sunday.
