The American ambassador to Russia broke his finger while playing basketball just two months after a similar incident.
Michael McFaul posted a picture Saturday on Twitter of a left hand, which was wrapped in a glove with a splint on the little finger.
The blue and swollen finger was braced in a bent position.
He tagged the photo with the words "physical therapy," but a question from a user prompted the ambassador to add "broken finger, playing basketball."
In November last year McFaul broke the same finger playing basketball and needed an operation as part of his recovery.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.

Remind me later.
