SIAP: Colin Castleton Breaks Hand
Somebody get this dude some milk.
Didn't require surgery and should be back at practice when the team returns from Spain. If you have to get injured, I'd say this is pretty good timing

I don’t know, Spain is a chance for younger guys who don’t end up in the main rotation to get experience against other teams. But yeah, certainly could be worse.
According to interim coach Saddi Washington, Castleton broke his right shooting hand two weeks ago. However, the injury didn’t require surgery and Castleton has been wearing a cast since.
I broke two fingers on my left hand once - no surgery, but the setting of those fingers, which mainly involved a good, hard yank of my hand, was the most exquisite pain I have ever felt. Smooth sailing after that though. Hopefully, Castleton is back on the court soon.

I've broken seven bones in my hands over the years, and I'm always surprised at how medieval the treatment is (provided the Middle Ages had lidocaine, of course). The doctor stuck me with the needle half a dozen times, waited until I could feel nothing, and then said,
"Hold on to the table" while he pulled the fifth metacarpal back into place (and my shoulder almost from its socket). If he'd given me a shot of whiskey and a bullet to bite on, it would have been fitting.
Here's wishing Castleton a complete and speedy recovery, and no problems with scar tissue.

I broke a bone in my hand from excessive masturbation.

Get a warm cantaloupe. Don’t let an injury take you out of the game.

You're supposed to limit it to yourself and one or two other guys on public transit.
