Don't knock Darko.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Darko Milicic broke his hand in a token appearance in the Detroit Pistons' NBA title clincher, an injury that could jeopardize his chances of playing for Serbia in the Olympics.
The second overall pick in the NBA draft was hurt at the end of the fifth and final game of the NBA Finals. It is not clear when during the game the injury occurred. He missed Thursday's parade celebrating the team's victory.
The 7-footer, who will turn 19 on Sunday, had surgery on the hand Wednesday, said Detroit president of basketball operations Joe Dumars.
The team said he is expected to miss eight weeks.
Milicic barely played as a rookie. He had told the Pistons he wouldn't play for their summer-league team because he wanted to focus on his hopes of playing in Athens.
