This statement/situation does not make sense to me. What kind of break does he have in his wrist that can't get worse by playing with the injury? Asking for a friend.

Speculating here, based on a lot of time spent in hand surgery and therapy, that the type of fracture Trey is more like a chip than a fissure. With a chip, the break cannot be made worse by knocking it because that bone segment has already detached. A chipped bone would also be consistent with hitting the wrist against Sam’s helmet rather than falling on it. The chip may be too small to surgically repair but will remain painful until that raw spot calcifies. It is also consistent with not needing a club type cast for protection
