I have him on my fantasy team and my patience is growing thin. It was a strained forearm right? Anyone have any idea when we can expect him to return?

From today's TP:

Hornets forward David West (forearm strain), guard Peja Stojakovic (back spasms) and reserve guard Bobby Jackson (bruised ribs) remained sidelined, which meant the Hornets were without 46.2 points per game. Scott said that Stojakovic and Jackson might return next week, but there is no timetable for West, the team's leading scorer last season.

The strain was causing a pinched nerve or something. Thats gotta be something awful to deal with just day to day, not to mention playing ball with it.
