Out 4-5 weeks (sprained right finger)

It’s like those injury reports I used to dread seeing on my fantasy NBA players roster. My right fourth finger knuckle was sticking out to the left more than it should, even after all the initial bruising from last week went away, so I got nervous and decided to see a doctor, who told me to get an X-ray to make sure there was no fracture. There was none, so the diagnosis is just a bad sprain that might take up to four to five weeks to heal. Now I have a basketball injury to tell stories about– not as cool as my dislocated shoulder from rollerblading during the summer of my junior year, but definitely less painful.
