Garuba has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a right finger dislocation.
EDGE Analysis
One of Golden State's three two-way players, Garuba has yet to play at the NBA level this season but appears to have sustained the injury during his three-minute appearance Monday in G League Santa Cruz Warriors' 123-99 loss to the Ontario Clippers. Garuba won't be available off the bench for the NBA club Tuesday and could be at risk of missing additional contests due to the injury.

Garuba logged 17 points (8-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 22 minutes of Saturday's 129-115 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Santa Cruz was missing Trayce Jackson-Davis because he was recalled to Golden State, so Garuba got an extended look Saturday and made the most of it. He's known as a defensive specialist, so to see Garuba play this well on the offensive end is very encouraging.
