You have a very positive focus, working on other skills.
I hope you recover fast. Take it slow and easy when the cast/splint comes off.
I'll tell you. I never play basketball or volleyball, because of the danger of injuring a finger.
When I get attacked by hooligans and Iranian spies, which is quite often, I never use my hands to take them out, preferring kicks and head butts. I recommend you do the same in similar situations.
