 CHICAGO (AP) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West left Thursday's game against the Bulls with a fractured right wrist after a nasty collision with Chicago's Derrick Rose. West was off to a blazing start, with 11 points, when he tried to block Rose's layup with 1:36 left in the first quarter. Both players crashed to the court, but while Rose quickly popped up, West stayed down clutching his wrist with a non-displaced fracture. He also had a cut above his left eye that required two stitches.The Cavaliers began the night with the league's best record. Now, they'll have to make do without a key piece in West, who was fourth on the team at 12.3 points per game.
