It’s not clear at all what happened, but the PLL did issue a statement announcing that “both players have been suspended indefinitely pending further investigations by the PLL Discipline and Conduct Committee.”

While I don’t know much about lacrosse, I do know plenty about disgusting injuries, and getting your finger allegedly bitten off is about as gross as it gets.
In fact, I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a more disgusting picture on the internet today. It’s simply brutal.
We’ll see how this all shakes out, but the fact both players are already suspended is a great indication whatever happened was incredibly serious.
Concrete details are still a bit scarce, but there was an altercation last night involving multiple PLL players at their hotel, and league discipline may be coming for some guys.
