Portland Trailblazers swingman Evan Turner fractured the third metacarpal in his right hand Tuesday night during the third quarter of an eventual 114-113 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
Turner fractured his hand guarding Harrison Barnes off the ball, but led the ensuing fast break and dropped a left-handed dime to Al-Farouq Aminu for an easy two points.
After the game, which moved the Blazers to 23-30 overall, Turner responded in the most E.T. way possible:
Turner referred multiple times to the injury as "janky," said he wishes he had broke it doing something cool like dunking
