After Marc Gasol‘s left pinkie finger was dislocated in the third quarter, the Lakers center refused to let that injury slow him down.
He was in the midst of having his best scoring game of the season when he was injured in a 121-113 loss to the Boston Celtics on Thursday night at Staples Center in front of 1,915 fans. The Lakers’ training staff popped his finger back in place and Gasol continued to play, even hitting a three-pointer afterward.
Gasol finished with a season-high 18 points and a volar plate fracture to his pinkie that was revealed in a post-game X-ray.
