The Heat are reeling, after two straight road losses, the first back to back double digit losses since the Big 3 came together. Now reports from ESPN.com are saying LeBron James possibly dislocated a finger on his non shooting hand, in the loss last night to the Pacers.
Adding insult to injury, literally, it had to be his ring finger. At this point, lets hope people are a little more creative than “he broke the finger doesn’t need”. If people are going to go for the easy joke, at least step up your game.

The severity of the injury is not known at this point, but sources indicated the finger might be dislocated. The Heat did not practice Tuesday and had no comment on James’ injury.
The injury, which is to James’ non-shooting hand, occurred in the first half and did not force James to leave the game. Instead, after having it taped by a Heat trainer, he went on to play 41 minutes, scoring 24 points with nine rebounds while making 9 of 21 shots. He then iced his finger after the game.
