MSP430F5438A-EP: MSP430F5438AMPZREP IO pin handling transient

Part Number: MSP430F5438A-EP

My customer has the following question:  

The transient event below occurs during operation.

 

The component is an MSP430F5438AMPZREP and the question is whether or not its IO pins could handle a 50mA transient for 20nS when configured as input pins.

 

Any insight would be helpful.   I see the datasheet specs a diode current on the IO pins as 2mA but I was imagining that was more of a continuous stress not transient.

Thanks, 

Aaron
