Nowitzki has torn tendon on finger

Nowitzki says he has torn tendon in finger

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki said he tore a
tendon in his left middle finger during Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday.

Nowitzki and the Mavs lost the game, 92-84, after LeBron James and the Heat
pulled away in the second half.

Following the game, Nowitzki said he had an X-ray on his left hand and that
nothing was broken. But he said he will need to wear a splint on the finger,
which is on his non-shooting hand.

Nowitzki, chasing his first NBA title, scored 27 points to lead all players in
the game.

"I'll be all right," he said afterward. "It's on my left hand."

James seemed to agree when asked about the injury, saying: "The left hand is
just a guide hand, we all know that."
