Alan Hahn of Newsday is reporting that Knicks center Ronny Turiaf suffered a broken left finger.
Injury-riddled Knicks center Ronny Turiaf suffered a broken finger in his left hand and is expected to be out for about 4 to 6 weeks, which could cause him to miss the start of training camp if the NBA lockout is resolved in time. Training camps are scheduled to open during the last week of September, but that could be delayed as a result of the lockout.
The injury occurred while Turiaf was going for a rebound playing for France on Tuesday against Great Britain in an Olympic Test event in London.
MVP247.com, the website for a London-based basketball magazine, first reported the injury, which tests revealed was a broken metacarpal in the left hand -- Turiaf shoots with his right hand -- and said Turiaf is expected to miss the upcoming EuroBasket tournament.
The website also reported that Turiaf, who is from Martinique and has French citizenship, will withdraw if further tests show "lasting damage."
