It was a typical play with the same characters. Toronto Raptors’ Pascal Siakam, playing for Team Giannis Antetokounmpo, was about to make an uncontested layup – something that usually happens in this exhibition game.
James attempted to hide behind the backboard to block it. James managed to get his hand caught on the rim while he was going up. It’s what caused the contusion.
