SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sacramento Kings swingman Francisco Garcia will have surgery after breaking his right forearm while lifting weights.

The Kings said Garcia was injured on Friday and will have the surgery on Saturday. They provided no timeline for when he might return.

Last month, Garcia fractured his right ring finger.

The fifth-year player averaged 12.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 65 games, 36 starts, for Sacramento last season.

I've heard of people breaking their arms from arm wrestling. Just too much resistance I guess.

What would Francisco Garcia be doing lifting weights on an exercise ball? It's a core part of the official Kings work-out...

Last spring, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled 3 million exercise balls manufactured by EB Brands based on 47 reports of unexpected explosions. I have no idea what brand the Kings use.

The Kings announced today that Francisco Garcia underwent successful surgery at UC Davis Medical Center and is expected to be sidelined at least four months.

The team said the surgery repaired a broken right radius in his forearm and ligament damage to his wrist. The injury occurred Friday while he was weight lifting with an exercise ball.

Garcia will wear a case on his arm for the next four months.

Kings are in for a season of hurt. They're around $5 million under the salary cap but have only signed May for the minimum.
