Breaking News - Phil is injured

Phil B, one of Mamba's greatest players, suffered an injury so severe that Louis K. had to drive him to the emergency room. Late in the first half Phil reached for a loose ball and either dislocated or broke his finger.

His pain was obvious and it quickly became clear that no one really had a plan in the case of a Mamba injury. Players began shouting out their limited medical knowledge -

"walk it off"
"ice it"
"drink a lot of water"
"keep it elevated"
"pull it"
"play through it"

Fortunately, Phil ignored all of this advice and went to the emergency room instead. I'll admit it, the finger did look pretty bad, but hopefully doctors can straighten it out.

Phil was a good man, a man of solid values and a passion for nature. He enjoyed dancing in the woods, making slow motionless love, and going for long nude walks on the beach. He liked to play the fiddle and make miniature cities out of clay. He will be missed and the game will not be the same without Mamba's leading scorer. Return soon, Phil.

On a side note, Louis was having the best game of his career. 30 minutes into the game Louis had already hit at least four 3s. You could argue that Phil's injury was an act of total and complete selfishness, in that it pulled Louis from probably the finest performance of his life. Did Phil purposefully dislocate his finger just to steal the spotlight from Louis? Could this be Mamba's first conspiracy theory??????
