OAKLAND, Calif. -- Warriors rookie center Patrick O'Bryant probably will miss the start of training camp after breaking his right foot.
O'Bryant, the ninth overall selection in the June's draft, was injured during an offseason scrimmage in Las Vegas last month. Team doctors diagnosed the injury in San Francisco this week.
He won't need surgery, but he is wearing an immobilizing boot. He will be out for at least four to six weeks, most likely keeping him on the sidelines when Golden State opens camp under new coach Don Nelson.
O'Bryant averaged 13.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.9 blocks last season at Bradley, then skipped his final two seasons of eligibility to turn pro. He is the only significant addition to the Warriors, who missed the playoffs for the 12th straight season last spring.
Golden State is listed at +5000 to win the Western Conference title in 2007 according to sportsbetting.com.
