That is positive right. ?
Not a doctor.... How long does that take to heal?

They're taking X-rays to ensure there's not any fractures. I'm also not a doctor but a dislocation can typically played through but it's painful and getting ice on it right away will reduce swelling. Assuming X-ray comes back negative I'd guess he's out the rest of this game and will be playing in the Temple game.

Also not a doctor, but since there was a orthopedic doctor there the damage could be minimal. A poor job of relocation is often the cause of the most damage.

In the post game radio interview, Haith said it was dislocated and they put it back in, no fractures. It caused discomfort but was told Smith could play if needed. Should be ready by Sunday. Hopefully the flu has run its course through the team as well. Need everyone healthy with energy down the stretch.

Not his thumb at all. He came out at half with 2 middle fingers on his right hand taped together. He tried to use that hand in warm ups. But had little feeling and strength in it. He was able to dribble, but not shoot.
His thumb is not affected.

Coach said dislocated fingers after game. Didn't think it was broken.

Glad it wasn't his thumb. This will be fine two days. He'll be good to go for Temple. Sigh of relief...
