The Miami Heat might have been victorious on Thursday night but it didn't leave Oklahoma City without a few bumps and bruises.

The Heat announced on Friday afternoon that LeBron James suffered a broken nose in his fourth-quarter collision with Serge Ibaka in the Heat's 103-81 victory against the Thunder. When James was driving to the basket for what would result in a dunk, Ibaka hit him in the face while attempting to get into defensive position.

After the contact, James stayed down on the baseline for several minutes and bled profusely before being taken to the locker room.

No foul was called on the play and it was clearly accidental contact. James has been ruled a game-time decision for Miami's Sunday contest against the Chicago Bulls.

The Thunder (43-13) will try to bounce back against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday at 12 p.m. at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
