Talk Tennis - View Single Post - When can I play tennis after sustaining a mallet finger injury?

I hurt my middle finger on my dominant hand playing basketball a couple of days ago. I will have my finger in a splint for 6-8 weeks. Anyone have this injury and try to play tennis with it? If so, how soon after the injury? Obviously I can't fully grip the racket, but I think I can grip it enough to hit balls. I usually drill once a week and play in a league once a week at a 4.0 level.

Thanks for any input
