    During Team USA training camp Tuesday, David Lee injured his right middle finger.

    According to ESPN's Chris Sheridan, it was a significant enough injury that Lee left Las Vegas for Oakland, Calif., to be examined by the Warriors' medical staff.

    The severity of the injury is not yet known. If it ends up keeping Lee out for several weeks, it's possible he won't quite be up to speed once training camp starts up for the Warriors.

    If Lee is unable to go to start the season, expect Brandan Wright to move up the depth chart at power forward for Golden State.

    It's in his off-hand, he should be fine to start

    i'm not a big fan of players playing for their national team...i mean, yeah, it's good for the experience and whatnot, but as far as getting injured or just plain exhausted, i don't know if the risk is worth the reward.

    i heard a lot of people blaming Biedrins' shitty play last year on being too exhausted from being the man on the latvian team. i dont know. we have two of our best three players playing with the USA squad right now, and we have enough injuries as it is.

    maybe i'm being pessimistic

    Also, did anybody watch the televised practices for the USA team yesterday?? Pretty entertaining...they mic'd up different players, and it was completely uncut/uncensored.

    Steph was mic'd up, walked over to Lee, who said something along the lines of "I fuckin disclocated the shit out of it" he sounded like he was more annoyed than in pain

    That's a relief. No surgery, only 1.5 months, he'll be back for training camp, he better just take it easy and rehab it well.

    It was in the "Steph Curry mic'ed up" video from the first day of practices (it was even before Lee injured his finger).

    First thing I thought -- was David Lee giving Cohan the one finger salute good-bye? :ghoti:

    Second thought -- David Lee was invited while Anthony Randolph was not. :drumroll:
