Dirk Nowitzki just said he tore a tendon in his left middle finger. Will wear a splint for rest of playoffs. Happened when Dirk stripped ball from Chris Bosh. Said he couldn't straighten finger after injury.

Nowitzki said an X-ray showed no broken bones.

 

"It was just a freaky play," Nowitzki said. "I have to wear a splint probably for the rest of the playoffs, for a couple of weeks. But it will be all right."

 

Nowitzki is right-handed, so he uses his left hand mostly to guide his shots. He said he doesn't expect the injury or the bandage to be much of an issue.

 

Neither does Heat star LeBron James.

 

"He's right-handed," James said. "It won't affect him. He's still going to be great. He's still Dirk."
