It’s a non-displaced fracture of the off-hand thumb. I would be surprised if he misses more than a week of games. Jarrett Allen had the same injury back on October in his left ring finger and missed 2 games.

Just don’t let him near the Utah Jazz doctors.

You sneeze and they’ll give you season-ending knee surgery.

Did it happen when he smacked Brunson in the face? If it did, the size of Brunson a head def contributed to the fracture

Hitting Brunson’s dome piece gives you a 5 second debuff, everyone knows that

Well he’s a left handed shooter. You can play through right thumb fracture with minimal time out and splints

good thing a point guard only needs to shoot and not worry about things like dribbling or passing

Maybe this is the catalyst for change, when the bone in Harden’s thumb broke the camel’s back, and resulted in Harden learning to play hard on defense.

All defensive Harden coming up

He can switch to SG and Spyda can play PG if they’re desperate.

so despite the name, shooting guards also need to dribble and pass.

Im ngl harden never gets injured and he just happened to get injured after being traded to the cavs, what kind of luck is this.

He stopped getting calls too. Cavs have the worst home whistle in the league.

what it’s worth it’s non shooting hand and seems to be a minor fracture to only the tip of his thumb that didn’t displace the thumb at all so about as minor a thumb fracture as one can get

Lowkey could’ve been when Brunson hacked him and they called it a block lmao

Man, can we please play the good teams when their players are healthy? Despite the loss, the Spurs match was great basketball. The Thunder tonight are fielding half a roster, and the Cavs will likely be without Harden for both the games this weekend. Hopefully he’s healthy for the playoffs. Great potential for some fantastic Eastern Conference bball in the Spring.
