Lebron's finger

Lebron James’ hand was slapped as he was shooting and he sprained a finger on his non-shooting hand. He left that game at half time and sat out the next three games. He is still listed as questionable. According to ESPN.com:

Is this for real? How does the most important player in basketball sit out four games with a sprained finger? As you might have guessed, it concerns me because he’s on my fantasy squad. But seriously, there has to be more to this story.

A sprained finger on your shooting hand can’t feel good. It’s not the playoffs either; it’s the beginning of the season. I can see treating this with kid gloves.

According to the OP it’s the non-shooting hand. Still, it would affect dribbling, passing and receiving passes.

Rest it at this point in the season. They only play the regular season for seeding in the playoffs.

My bad. Stupid typo.

You are correct, though.
