Dirk reveal Injury after Game 1 Loss to the Heat

Dallas is down a game and will now be down a finger on star Dirk Nowitzki's hand. The star revealed the injury during a post game news conference saying that while the finger wasn't broken he had a torn tendon.

“There’s a torn tendon in my finger,” he said. “It was just on a freak play. [Chris] Bosh got a bounce pass and stepped in. I thought I stripped him clean and then I kind of looked down and I couldn’t straighten my finger out anymore.

“So I tore a tendon in there. I guess it’ll be all right.”

Guess?

“It will be all right,” he said.
