He won't be dunking , or poking at the ball with his bad hand , He could completely break his thumb , then he'd been screwed for months . Falling , which happens a lot , he'd have to land on ribs , head , back , jar his neck or put his hand down and finish off his thumb. his bad hand could get slapped , crushed , banged .
Trying dribble and keep one hand out of the line of fire would be tuff , especially if it's you main hand. , all the while guys are slapping at the ball. If he can't dribble , he ll get the ball stolen very easy. You just guard his good hand ....make him dribble and catch with the bad one .
I would not give him a break as player . It's not college , it's work and playoffs , if I'm Smart or Bradley I don't give a rats butt about his stupid hand . If he's that dumb to play , then he can just get it broke all the way .
All players put their hands out as they dribble to push the playout of the way ....he does that and it might get broken with no cast pretty easy.....or they slap his hand while he dribbles with the good hand.
The only way he can play and not be a liability is to play with cast off , that's pretty dumb IMO. I'd be sure to knock him on his butt or,maybe trip him on purpose like he did Jae .....low lake scum
