CLEVELAND -- There may have been a downside to the Cavaliers' 93-87 win over the Lakers on Thursday night.
Delonte West suffered an injury to the ring finger on his left hand late in the fourth quarter after chasing a loose ball. West, who is left-handed, was able to finish the game but was in discomfort afterward. The Cavs did not announce the injury but he's expected to have tests on the finger at the Cleveland Clinic on Friday.
He left the The Q wearing a split on the finger, it was not clear if he'd had x-rays before leaving.
The injury, if it is serious, could come at a bad time for the team. West made his first start of the season at point guard against the Lakers, scoring three points with three assists, because starter Mo Williams was ruled out for the next 4-6 weeks with a sprained shoulder.
