LeBron James suffered some damage to his left eye after being poked by Draymond Green during the second quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.

Green hit James in the face and poked him in the eye while trying to defend him going up for a shot. Later in the game, ABC showed James sitting on the bench and zoomed in on his left eye, which had a red spot
