Your finger can become fractured when an object, like a ball, hits the tip of it and forces it to bend down. This type of injury is sometimes called “baseball finger” or “mallet finger.” The injury can pull the tendon in the finger away from the bone.

Treatment for a finger avulsion fracture is a little more complex than with other bones. You’ll need to keep the finger stable so you don’t injure it further, but you don’t want to keep the finger so still that it loses mobility. Your doctor might refer you to a hand specialist to make sure you get the right treatment.

You’ll most likely have to wear a splint on the affected finger for a few weeks to hold it straight until it heals. Once it heals, physical therapy can help you regain movement and function in the finger.

In certain cases, surgery will be required to treat the injured finger. Surgery will involve a surgeon inserting pins in the bone to hold the pieces of bone together while they heal. Depending on the nature of the injury, it may also involve stitching together a torn tendon.

I rewatched Hayward's minutes from Monday. No play stood out where he would have hurt the finger.  Around 7:03 of third he kind of reached back and his finger might have gotten caught in a jersey.  But he hit a three after it and continued to play until 4ish left in quarter.  He didn't seem to be favoring it.  So hoping it is a tape it up and pain management type of injury.

if this keeps him off the court opening night, its serious...he needs to be on the frigging court

just unbelievable

 

He played with it Monday night at some point. I feel he is day to day through preseason and will be starting against Cleveland next week.

Sounds like promising update today from Borrego.

Rod Boone (@rodboone) Tweeted:
James Borrego on Gordon Hayward's finger injury and if he'll be ready for the opener: "He's very optimistic right now, we're very optimistic. I don't want to speculate on opening night. He's already feeling better." https://twitter.com/rodboone/status/1339621471510016003?s=20

      https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
