Valanciunas went down with the injury in the first half and might have had his finger stepped on in a scramble for the loose ball after he fell down. Magic power forward Andrew Nicholson may have been the player to step on Valanciunas' finger.
It’s unclear if Valanciunas will miss time outside of this game.
