[Injury] Jarred Vanderbilt is in extreme pain after jamming his pinky finger against the side of the backboard while attempting to block the alley-oop dunk by Chet Holmgren (with replays).
The Thunder benches reaction says it all
Yup. Real bad
You can see the bench reaction at 0:29. They saw and immediately turned around. Tough loss for the Lakers.
That pretty lesbian in the pink jacket and jeans definitely saw something.
Is r/nbacirclejerk leaking?
Lol hahaha, why the hell is he dressed like a soccer mom
its called fashion sweaty
Must have missed the trend shift
God, why does the best team in the NBA and their fan base have to be so aggressively uncool?
no one knows the fashion sweaty meme, im old
Just Thunder players tik tok dance fashion.
Maybe real men didn’t notice what he was wearing, like me.
Pinky looks broken
Yeah Vando is a tough guy, no way he’s acting like this after a dislocation. The way the thunder bench reacted it’s probably snapped with the bone out.
Gotta be something pretty gruesome. These NBA guys have probably seen a bunch of dislocated fingers before. Just brutal.
Yeah a dislocated finger usually doesn’t hurt (or only hurts a little…just feels really weird)
This has got to be a fracture
It’s most likely bc it broke through the skin, so either an open dislocation or an open fracture. Either way no bueno.
It did. Theres a pic going around of it as hes coming down.
Did that shit just flail!?!?
OKC bench reaction not good
Looks horrible, that fucking sucks.
Also shoutout Ayton for getting the trainer to cover Vando’s hand with the towel… that with the OKC reaction when they saw it, his finger/hand is probably destroyed
Bro Aaron Wiggins flinched and looked away. That shit probably looks bad bad
If you pause at 1:26 of this clip right after he touches the board you can see 4 of Jarred’s fingers in a normal position and the pinky being perpendicular to them, pointing in the opposite direction. That pinky is busted, probably the reason why OKC bench reacted like that.
It’s because the bone was sticking out of the skin. Saw a still photo that showed it and was not a fun sight.
Ouch. I hardly ever see a player and opposing bench react that strongly.
Jalen Williams’ face says it all.
why is he dressed like someone’s mom?
I’m glad it wasn’t his groin at least because it looked like he was grabbing at it initially.
That’s what I thought as well.
Could’ve sworn I saw his pinky bent backwards when he was under the basket.
That pinky might not be okay
That’s a dislocated pinky, yeesh looks gnarly
More then that it’s def broken badly
True, the OKC bench reaction makes it seem more likely its broken
It’s broken look at 1:26
Bone sticking out I bet
The bench reaction said it all ngl hope Vandy is good
That’s what it looks like when I stub my toe
Pinky injury risk is why I don’t try to block dunks /s
Damn the injury is catching up to his upper limbs. Dude literally has problems with his feet, ankle, knee and now his finger.
Ya based off the OKC bench I’m gonna say that it’s not good
The first frame at 1:13 you can see his pinky is sideways.
Vando you have seriously pissed me off by your attitude after leaving the wolves. But bruh I don’t want that. Heal up man
Thanks man my finger is actually okay I just shit my pants
It fully jammed into the backboard at full force, i wouldnt be suprised if he tore some tendons or shattered a bone
Complete dislocation of the right pinki, Shams just shared
Hope he heals up soon. I’m still recovering from dislocating my index finger
Dude definitely won’t shoot good
Players just magically get injured when playing against okc, I’m waiting for wemby to break his leg mid dribble vs them
Jalen Williams dressing like he’s in the WNBA
Bet you people will still find a way to blame this on Dort.
“How can I make this unfortunate injury about something completely irrelevant right now?”
Pop it in and hell be fine.
Whys he hunched over. Walk it off and man up bitch boy
Hey everyone, look at this tough guy on reddit!
Woah Timmy tough knuckles over here, look out everybody.
