Playing basketball someday most of you have recieved a quick hard pass and received it wrong and your finger turns back. A few minutes later its all swelled up. This happens to me alot so im looking a way to reduce it.

What could be some ways to reduce/prevent it? (besides recieving passes correctly)

Another thing, is there any way to heal it quicker? lol I cant do some things since its my index finger. BTW I dont go to the hospital or anything for this. I just let it go away by itself...

(BTW; Now that I think of it I dont know if this belongs in Sporting or General...)

I know you said besides the receiving the pass correctly, but that's going to be the ONLY way to prevent it. You should be cradlign the ball when it comes to you by letting it hit the base of your hand and then quickly clasping around fingers onto it.

If its a fast as hell pass its bound to happen.....Your thinking with your mind rather than your hand and you slightly put it below where the ball is going your finger( s ) snap back and pow instant injury.

I play ball quite regularly. I'm telling you, the only way to avoid it is to receive it properly. It's an instict and a hand-eye coordination skill that you have to give time ot become natural. I used to jam my fingers all the time, but as I got older and more controlled of my body, I was able to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong.

Yea man I played ball all through high school and college and your gonna get tons of jammed/sprained fingers and ankles. Like bangbang said the only way to keep this from happening is to catch the ball right. It's all hand-eye coordination...it becomes an instinct. Don't think about catching just do it. You just have to tape it up and play through it. After a while you'll start to even get used to shooting with a messed up shooting hand...which will help out some.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
