Francisco Garcia is hoping to make his season debut this weekend for the Kings after missing sixteen games with a strained right calf.

"It's been frustrating. I want to be out there helping my teammates," Garcia, who signed a five-year contract extension with the team this September, said.

Sacramento is 5-11, but Garcia is hoping to return on Saturday against the Mavericks.

"That's what I am shooting for," Garcia explained. "That's my plan to come back by this weekend and if not then early next week. I get real juiced up and want to see us win. You see everybody getting better and I want to be out there."
