Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> forward Jarred Vanderbilt<\/a> sustained a full dislocation of his right pinky finger during Tuesday’s 108-90 loss<\/a> to the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania.<\/p>\n

Vanderbilt was injured when he attempted to block a dunk by Thunder center Chet Holmgren<\/a>. Vanderbilt swiped at Holmgren behind the play and hit his finger on the backboard. Holmgren made the dunk to put the Thunder up 48-39 with 5:57 left in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Vanderbilt bent over while holding his hand and he left the game. Several players on the Thunder bench immediately looked away at the sight of the injury.<\/p>\n
