Former National Basketball Association player Javaris Crittenton pleaded guilty on Wednesday in the 2011 death of an Atlanta woman, admitting he fired an automatic rifle in a drive-by shooting but saying he never meant to kill anyone.

Sources told ESPN.com that, based on current projections, league officials expect the salary cap to increase from its current $63.1 million figure to $67.1 million next season, $89 million in 2016-17, and $108 million in 2017-18.

But reader Eric, who had darn good seats right behind the bench, says he saw Davis tell the Pelicans trainer to pop the finger back into place. Eric sent along this sequence of photos, apparently showing the trainer doing just that:
