"Warriors forward David Lee injured his right middle finger at Team USA training camp Tuesday.

Lee, acquired from the New York Knicks earlier this month, was expected to fly back to the Bay Area on Tuesday night. He has a visit scheduled with San Francisco hand specialist Dr. William Green, who last week performed the surgery to repair torn ligaments in the left wrist of Warriors rookie Ekpe Udoh.

Lee told ESPN.com that the injury occurred when he went up to block a shot and jammed the middle finger of his shooting hand against the bottom of the backboard.

"I looked down and my finger was completely turned to the side," Lee said. "It's possibly a tendon or a dislocation of some sort. It's something I've got to go have looked at either way. Hopefully it's something I can splint up and play with. That's up to the doctors to decide."

Team USA opened practice Tuesday at UNLV's Cox Pavilion in preparation for next month's World Championships in Turkey."
