Could we see a LeBane James in the making? Miami Heat's LeBron James suffered a bloody nose injury after throwing down a dunk on Oklahoma City Thunder big man Serge Ibaka on Thursday night. Here's the video:

This then led to this:
James left the game, finishing with 33 points. He still finished with more points than Kevin Durant, who had 28. The Heat ended up winning the game.
As for LeBron's injury, he shouldn't miss too much time, if any. Head coach Erik Spoelstra says James "has a swollen nose, he got hit pretty good in the nose."
Don't be surprised if he ends up wearing a mask, which is what leads to why I posted that LeBane James photo above. James has worn a mask before during his Cleveland Cavaliers days, so the sight should be a little familiar.
