In Game 3, Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum accidentally elbowed Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley in the face. McCollum’s elbow caught Conley in his left eye, fracturing bones around it.

Conley returned during game 5 to support his teammates and wasn’t shy about his busted eye being on display.
