SALT LAKE CITY – Early on during the Kings' mid-January road trip across the East Coast, swingman Francisco García estimated the time of his official return at approximately two weeks.
Nearly two weeks later, it remains unclear when he'll be back.
The fifth-year player said he is now taking the "day-to-day" approach, in part because of a fall that occurred late in Thursday practice when García fell on the right wrist that was broken in an Oct. 9 exercise ball accident. While it was far from an injury, it was enough to make the wrist even more sore than it already had been and force García to take the cautious approach once again.
"It gets sore," García said. "I practice good, but like yesterday (Thursday), I fell on my wrist and it's sore now … I (can't return) until I feel fully confident that I can get out there and fall on the floor and I'm going to be OK."
Both García and Westphal said there will be no more projections about when he'll return.
"He'll be ready when he's ready," Westphal said. "It's unfortunate because he had practiced really well (on Thursday before the fall)."
