Golden State Warriors’ rookie center Patrick O’Bryant has suffered a fractured right foot (sesmoid bone), it was announced today by Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin. The injury, which was diagnosed yesterday (Wednesday, September 6) by Dr. John Belzer and Dr. Keith Donatto at the California Pacific Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Center in San Francisco, will not require surgery to heal and is expected to keep O’Bryant sidelined for a minimum of four to six weeks.
O’Bryant, who is currently wearing an immobilizing boot on the foot, sustained the injury during an off-season scrimmage in Las Vegas during the week of August 28.
The Warriors open training camp on Tuesday, October 3 in Oakland.
