i know a great hand surgeon. :wave: but seriously, lets hope he is ok. x-rays wont show soft tissue damage like a ligament tear. hopefully just a sprain. *fingers crossed*
Probably just sore. The staff likely wouldn't let him back on the field with a sprain or any chance of tissue damage.
Even a badly bruised hand will affect using it. I bruised both pretty badly in a bicycle spill once and they hurt like hell for days. This open date is timely.
