The latest in a series of bizarrely-random (in their eyes) injuries that have affected John Paxson’s 12th ‘core group of guys that we really like’, Hutchison’s shoulder has kept him out since before the All-Star break on Februrary 11th.

Prior to that, he had “played through it” for 18 games after first injuring the shoulder in late November.
