Paul Davis just made a nice catch and finish off of a slick pass from Cuttino Mobley early on here in the Clippers exhibition game against the Toronto Raptors. Why is this surprising?

Well, before the game we were chatting with Davis about how painful his sprained right pinkie finger is. It’s a second degree sprain, which by definition is a partial ligament tear. Davis said it’s extremely painful, despite his heavy tape job. But the only way for it to heal is with rest, and Davis doesn’t want to go back down that road again.

“I’m through with all that,” Davis said, gesturing to his surgically repaired right knee. “I’m just going to play through it.”
