Maybe it was only fair that the Thunder lost a man of their own.
Minutes after the Los Angeles Clippers lost power forward Glen Davis to back spasms (in the wake of some nasty Blake Griffin news), Thunder center Steven Adams injured his right hand while battling for a rebound.
Adams quickly jogged to the locker room. He returned to take (and make) a left-handed free throw, thus giving himself the option of returning to the game, before heading immediately back into the tunnel.
The gutsy decision proved to be for naught, as Adams has been ruled out for the rest of the game.
