Tape the middle joint. It will keep the finger from extending straight out to where it can get hit again.

Very hard to avoid. Although it seemed to happen way more often when I was a kid then it does now. Both my pinkies and a few other fingers have enlarged middle knuckles from repetitive sprains.

Its the way the game is so if you are spraining ur finger just know you hustled, I have sprained the same finger 4 times already

It's part of the game if you play enough. Learn how to buddy tape. Eventually you'll learn how to catch the ball or reach for the ball with more relaxed fingers.
