Kendrick Perkins dislocates finger, tries to fix it himself (VIDEO)

The Oklahoma City Thunder opened the NBA’s 2013 preseason schedule on Saturday morning, playing Fenerbahce Ulker in Istanbul as part of the Global Games that will see teams play eight preseason games in eight cities, in six countries and territories.

The Thunder was already without Russell Westbrook — who will now miss at least the first month of the regular season after undergoing an additional knee surgery last week — and lost the services of Kendrick Perkins late in the first half, although to something that looks to be far less serious.

Perkins dislocated a finger while battling for a rebound, and as seen in the video clip, he did his best to pop it back in place himself. He was apparently unsuccessful, however, as Perkins didn’t start the second half; rookie Steven Adams got the nod in his place.

The Thunder led 48-42 at the break, behind 20 points and six rebounds from Kevin Durant.

Kevin Durant shoots ping-pong balls on French television (VIDEO)

Kevin Durant is in France as part of a Nike promotional tour of Europe where he appeared on a French talk show doing some sort of stupid human tricks segment.

This French version of Jimmy Fallon had the bamboozled Oklahoma City Thunder star shoot colored ping-pong balls into a basket on top of his host's head while answering questions he was asked in French. Durant looks like he'd actually rather be jumping off the Eiffel Tower onto a giant souffle than endure the bizarre interview.

He's probably thinking, Where's Tony Parker when you need him?

Thunder's DeAndre Liggins accused of dropping Xbox 360 on girlfriend's head

Oklahoma City Thunder guard DeAndre Liggins has been accused of beating up his girlfriend Jasmine Horton — allegedly punching her and dropping a fan and an Xbox 360 on her as their 2-year-old son looked on.

Liggins has been accused of beating Horton and was released from jail on an $8,000 bail.

According to The Oklahoman, Liggins supposedly punched her, and dropped a fan and the heavy game box on her head. Their 2-year-old son was in the room during the incident according to the probable cause affidavit filed on Tuesday.

Horton, who describes herself as Liggins' girlfriend, said Liggins hit her in the head with his hand and then punched her in the head when she fell on the ground, according to the affidavit filed in Oklahoma County District Court. 

Horton claims she locked herself in a bedroom before Liggins reportedly kicked in the door, pushed her down and assaulted her, according to the affidavit.

Horton had injuries on her hands and fingers as well as bruises on her chest and back. Liggins was booked on Saturday under domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and domestic abuse in the presence of a minor.

The general manager of the Thunder Sam Presti said in a statement, "We reiterate the serious nature of this issue," before stating that the Thunder has "no further comment at this time."

Nick Collison photobombs three kids buried in the sand

Nobody is off limits for a photobomb when Nick Collison is around. Even little children are worthy targets of the sneaky snapshot prank when the Oklahoma City Thunder forward is lurking about.

Collison interrupted this shot while the three kids were half buried in a pristine Hawaiian beach.

The threesome became a party of four when Collison jumped into the frame and was snapped, in mid-air, behind the smiling children.

Captioned "Best photobomb yet?" the playful NBA player posted the fun photo to his Instagram account a few days ago.

None of his other photos appear to be of the visual gag, but if his user photo on his Twitter site is any indication, Collison is a pretty funny guy.
