BTW, it is absolutely wrong to think that Finley has a third degree sprain. While researching Daniels' condition, I discovered that 3rd degree sprains are when the tendon actually tears. That means that he would not be getting up. He'd be on crutches for weeks and his ankle would be wrapped up. I saw Finley get up, run and shoot FTs. That might not have been good for him, but he was able to which is the point.

AND, the last time I checked, doesn't having a 3rd degree sprain actually involve the tearing of certain ligaments? It looks a bit like you're confusing ligaments and tendons.

Anyways, for a very brief explanation of a third degree ankle sprain, go here.
