Paul Pierce’s finger was crushed by 45-pound weight plate in gruesome gym injury

Paul Pierce said he drove himself to the hospital after a 45-pound weightlifting plate crushed his fingers in a bloody scene during a workout at the gym on Friday.

The Basketball Hall of Famer recalled the incident during Monday’s installment of “Undisputed,” and explained that he saw the bone on his right ring finger after the weight severed his finger, which required surgery.

“I was crushing it in the weight room and a plate fell on my hand,” Pierce said while showing his bandaged finger in a cast. “I was doing a plank with a 45 [pound plate], you know, nobody can do that really but true gorillas in the weight room.

“It slide off, smashed by hand, I had to have surgery. But I’m here bright and early Monday morning, ready… Finger smashed open, bone came out, I drove myself to the hospital, got the surgery, went home and drunk a cup of coffee. That’s it… and Ima go to the weight room again and get right back in action.”

Pierce revealed the injury on Friday when he shared photos of his mangled fingers covered in blood on social media — including a snap of him lying in a hospital bed.

“I’m good by the way just broke a couple fingers gonna have surgery on one,” Pierce captioned one of the photos.
