    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%">Finger injury to keep Camby out vs. Kings</span> DENVER -- Marcus Camby of the Denver Nuggets expects to be sidelined a couple of weeks after breaking a finger on his shooting hand against the Washington Wizards.AdvertisementClick here to find out more! The 6-foot-11 center-forward is averaging 11.7 points and 11 rebounds. His absence is a blow to a team already without two suspended players -- Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith."It hurts," Camby said. "It's still swelled up. I'm trying to put off surgery so I can get back as quickly as I possibly can."Camby was injured after attempting to take a charge in the third quarter. He tried to cushion his fall by placing his hand out. He finished the game and X-rays taken afterward didn't reveal the fracture. His hand swelled the next day and an MRI showed the fracture.Anthony was suspended for 15 games and Smith for 10 for their roles in a brawl in the final minutes of a Dec. 16 game in New York. Smith said during Friday's shootaround that he has appealed the suspension, but hasn't heard from the league.The Nuggets play at home Friday night against Sacramento.</div>Dammit, I hope AI plays tonight or we will be blown out of the building. Anyways, big loss for us, I mean AI is going to have to carry the team for a few games.

    This is a huge blow, Camby is the anchor of our defense. I'm looking for Reggie Evans and Linas Kleiza to step it and do most of our rebounding. I heard that he may not be out for 2 weeks, Maybe 1 at the most.
