PrintIt doesn't sound serious, but perhaps it's serious enough to keep Francisco Garcia out of the do-or-die quarterfinal game against Canada Friday. From ESPN Deportes's Alfredo R. Berrios:
Sacramento Kings forward Francisco Garcia is listed as doubtful for the Dominican Republic's quarterfinal game Friday against Canada.
Coach Julio Toro confirmed the injury after Thursday's 86-73 victory over Mexico.
"Francisco has a cut in one of his fingers. He basically has a nail out of place," Toro said. "I was told (Thursday) that he wouldn't be available and I haven't been told if he will be available (Friday)."
I couldn't find anything on an injury Thursday, so I figured it was rest -- Flaco has been playing huge minutes.

Good call
If the finger hurts too much, he’ll probably just bite it off and keep playing.

KINGS INJURY UPDATE
Sacramento Kings’ guard Beno Udrih strained his left knee while playing for the Slovenian national team. Per Udrih’s representatives, an MRI was taken and was negative. He will remain with the Slovenian team and be evaluated by the Kings’ medical staff when he returns to Sacramento in late September. Udrih is entering his sixth NBA season, and third with the Kings.
Kings’ swingman Francisco Garcia fractured his right ring finger while playing for the Dominican Republic in the 2009 FIBA Americas Championship. He will not play in the remainder of the tournament and will return to Sacramento late next week, at which time the injury will be further evaluated. Garcia is entering his fifth NBA season (all with the Kings).
