Unusual time to break your hand, but it doesn’t sound too serious.

When do people usually break their hands?

While playing the game. Unusual during warmups/shoot around. For example, you don’t usually try and block shots during shoot around. I know it is possible if you catch a pass wrong or collide with someone. That is why I didn’t say ridiculous or unprecedented, just unusual.

As well as Houston has been playing Jabari hasn't been crucial to their success. IMO they are better starting Tari Eason. If he wasn't hurt Jabari would have been a good piece to trade to improve at guard. I can't take the Rockets seriously with Jalen Green as their starting SG.

That's cool. At 25-12, someone will.
