Last night playing basketball, I jammed my right pinky finger into the basketball. My question is whether or not I should continue to lift while the finger heals. No question that my ability to grasp the bar would be compromised with my finger in this state, however, I'm, sure that I could get through it if I pushed it.
I am right in the middle of the Hypertrohpy 1 workout in NROL and I don't really want to quit. I'm assuming that I should probably let the finger heal and not risk further injury or compromise my form. If this is true, is there anything that I can do in the mean time? How long should I wait before lifting again? Until I can lift without pain and without compromising form?

Thanks for the help. I'm very grateful that I can learn so much from everyone here.
