Agree, and this one is even worse, as the guy attributes the foul to a collision.
Apparently he neither watched the game nor the highlights before writing the recap. I kind of like the headline, though.

Orlando point guard Jameer Nelson dislocated his right shoulder after a collision with Erick Dampier in the third quarter and left the game. There's a strong possibility the injury will force him to miss next week's All-Star Game. "I don't remember hitting [Dampier] and what he did, if he grabbed my arm or whatever," Nelson said. "I'm quite sure that he didn't do it intentionally to pop my shoulder out."
