Medically spoken, though, from what I know (and I could be wrong), doctors only say broken when it is nearly broken all the way through the bone.
When someone told me the player broke his wrist I was imagining the x-ray showing a split or near-split in a bone or two. The way he played with that hand tonight, it was probably just a hair-line fractured or something like that. No cast or brace on his wrist, just taped below the wrist and close to the elbow (two different taped locations).
(I watch too much of the Discovery Health channel evidently)
