Dave Reynolds reports that Tramique dislocated a finger-
It is the middle finger of his left hand. This is a fairly common basketball injury, and many times that player can have the finger put back in place, tape it to an adjacent finger, and return to play fairly quickly, especially if is his off-hand. As long as there is no fracture, this usually isn't an injury that sidelines a player very long.
I have seen this happen to a couple Bradley players in the past, and they had it taped and returned to the game minutes later.
But it might be a more limiting injury if it happens to a point guard who handles and passes the ball a lot.
However, it can sometimes be more problematic if is also involves a fracture.
BU forward Eddie Cage dislocated his index finger of his shooting hand early in the 1998-1999 season. He was able to play with it, but he sustained a fracture of his eye socket a couple games later, and ultimately took a redshirt year.

BTW, which searching for Ed Cage, I came across this interesting article about him from a couple years ago. Eddie played professionally in several European countries until retiring 2 years ago.
“Europe has been really great,” said Cage, who lives in Andorra, a small, southwestern European country bordered by Spain and France.
“I have also played in Dubai and Luxembourg for short stints. It has really been a blessing to get the chance to play in Europe for so many years. I have been to a lot of places that, growing up, I never thought I would see. When we do get some free time, which is very little, I’ve been able to go to Athens, Milan, London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin, Hamburg, Glasgow and other places...
Cage was ready to play Division I basketball. Would it be at Marquette or Bradley?
“I received a lot of letters from schools all across the country and phone calls as well,” he said. “The two most important things to me were that I wanted to be close to home, and I wanted to play right away.”
He chose Bradley.
“A few things stood out to me about Bradley,” Cage recalled. “One was playing with projected lottery pick Anthony Parker (now with the Cleveland Cavaliers), another was playing in front of 10,000 people every night.”
