"Warriors forward David Lee learned Wednesday that his injured right middle finger won't require surgery but will keep him out six weeks.

That's bad news for his hopes of playing for Team USA but good news for the Warriors. Lee said he won't come close to missing training camp.

"Zero pain. Zero swelling. Zero bruising," Lee said. "I go back at the end of August. Hopefully I will get the splint taken off at that point. That puts (me) back by Sept. 1."

The Warriors have yet to announce when they'll open training camp, but they typically start at the beginning of October.

Lee, who was diagnosed Wednesday by hand specialist Dr. Bill Green in San Francisco, will not play for Team USA this summer. He acknowledged that was disappointing because he wanted to represent the USA at the World Championships in Turkey next month.

Lee, who has played 81 games each of the past three seasons, injured his finger Tuesday, the first day of Team USA training camp in Las Vegas. He did it blocking a shot — not being known as a shot blocker, he endured some banter from his USA teammates — as his finger hit the backboard after he swatted the ball."
