<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A banged-up thumb will keep point guard Mike Bibby on the sidelines for three weeks, the Sacramento Kings have announced.Bibby jammed his right thumb in the third quarter of Sunday's contest against the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets in Reno. The starter left the game with 7 points and didn't return.The thumb was x-rayed Monday. It is not broken but the tendon has detached from the bone, preventing the thumb from fully extending.Kings won the Hornets matchup 117-93. Back-up point guard Ronnie Price had a strong outing, shooting 18 points.Sacramento has three more preseason games, including Tuesday's Hornets re-match before the regular season opens November 1 against the Timberwolves at Minnesota.Also, the Kings trimmed their roster by one Sunday night. Center Loren Woods was cut. It's expected one more cut will be announced this week as Sacramento gets down to the league maximum 15 players.</div>This will definately hurt the Kings coming out of the gate.
