Hammen out indefinitely with knee issues.

Late Monday night in a phone call with CJP general manager Daniel Sondreal, 18-session CJP veteran Jim Hammen informed team CJP that he will be sitting out the 2014 Summer League. Hammen, 31, is sitting the session out due to chronic and severe knee pain in both knees. In May of 2013 he was diagnosed with a partial meniscus tear which caused him to miss the 2013 Summer League. Hammen rejoined the team in the Fall of 2013 and finished the Spring 2014 session as the team's leading scorer. "He will be greatly missed. A true triple threat and player that isn't afraid of the moment" said Sondreal in early Tuesday morning press conference. Sondreal, also 31, has been playing organized basketball with Hammen since 1999 closed up this mornings conference with the following, "Jim will be back. Hopefully sooner than later as we still have a few more championships to win before we part ways or are too old and injured to play. He will be back."
