The All-Star forward injured the middle finger of his right hand in the second half of the 135-115 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

The Nuggets said Anthony had been examined by hand specialist Dr. Carlton Clinkscales on Tuesday and fitted with a splint.

The injury will not require surgery.

Anthony is averaging 21.1 points and 7.3 rebounds for the Nuggets, who top the Northwest Division with a 24-12 record.
