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.

Well that sucks

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.

How the hell long does that take to recover?

JB said he is day-to-day.. Doesn't sound serious - but I imagine he won't play the remainder of preseason and maybe a few games into reg season..

I think it's just scary jarring to see "Hayward + 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.

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

Yeah he broke his finger. Just a normal basketball injury. Both my pinkies pretty much look like Z's if I hold them out straight.

If you play serious basketball and dont have at least 1 screwed up finger then somethings wrong. He will be ready by opener Im sure.

Sounds like Hayward is a go for tomorrow night.
