“To My Haters…” – Paul Pierce Posts Surgery Update on Viral Finger Injury

Paul Pierce is fine now. The NBA veteran has an extremely good sense of humor. What’s surprising is that he doesn’t forget to use it even during tough times. His previous scary post updating his followers about his surgery had left fans deeply worried about him. Following a successful surgical procedure, Pierce has finally shared a positive update with his concerned fans and even his haters.

Taking to his social media, the retired NBA player wrote, “I’m good. Surgery went well. Looks worse than it felt. I appreciate the concern and love, and to my haters, I love y’all too.”

While the Boston Celtics veteran assured his fans that he was doing fine, the pictures didn’t look good at all. He had a couple of broken fingers covered in blood and showed him in a hospital gown. Along with it, he shared an update that he would require surgery immediately. The caption of his Instagram update read, “I’m good by the way just broke a couple fingers gonna have surgery on one.”

One of the close-up snaps showed the other side of his phalange split wide open. Some fans took to social media, advising fellow Instagram users not to check out Pierce’s Instagram Story and wrote, “Don’t check Paul Pierce ig story omg it’s a f**ked up finger.” Recently, the Boston Celtics legend made headlines for his mistake on live TV.

Paul Pierce is under fire for a mistake during broadcast

Just recently, the 46-year-old made a mistake during the broadcast on Fox Sports. After getting fired from his previous broadcasting job at ESPN, the NBA champ once again made a similar mistake, which could have landed him in more trouble.

Maybe he was too immersed in his work that he forgot about the live broadcast and used a racial slur on a segment of Undisputed. It was during a discussion on the Indiana Pacers’ 121-89 Game 4 win against the New York Knicks when Pierce’s mistake garnered fans’ attention.

Despite the dropping viewer rates of Fox Sports after the incident, luckily and to fans’ relief, there haven’t been any updates on firing Pierce. Former NBA players often struggle to establish themselves after retirement.

However, Pierce just squandered valuable opportunities that numerous would envy. It seems The Truth could really use some lessons on what is and isn’t appropriate for TV. His latest post is truly a breath of relief after sending fans and netizens into a panic. Hopefully, the NBA legend recovers quickly.
