The release says that Andrews confirmed the team’s original diagnosis of a sprained knee. Ellis won’t play tonight against the Sacramento Kings but will be listed as day-to-day after that.</p> <p>The upshot? Well, it’s interesting that Ellis feels the need to seek out a second opinion, since that would seem to potentially indicate he’s still having trouble with the knee, even after nine days of rest. (Rest from the team, at least. Who knows how that fishing trip went?)</p> <p>It also means Stephen Curry will have every chance to press his case in the Rookie of the Year race in tonight against front-runner Tyreke Evans.</p> <p>– Geoff</p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pe9m9LJTss0bF4TyTNxJ2kfPcRQ/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pe9m9LJTss0bF4TyTNxJ2kfPcRQ/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Game 52, Live: Warriors (14-37) at Lakers (41-13)</h1> <p>Geoff Lepper — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 03:30:57 +0000</p> Back after a long All-Star break ... and because it's a road game, <a href="http://48minutes.net/2010/02/16/game-52-live-warriors-14-37-at-lakers-41-13/">the Cover it Live madness</a> is back, just in time to watch the continued coronation of Stephen Curry as the Warriors' latest savior. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ul5RqpDIqsBAH6pGwDTk3c4f1wY/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ul5RqpDIqsBAH6pGwDTk3c4f1wY/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Larry Riley makes it clear: Prepare yourself for life after Anthony Randolph</h1> <p>Geoff Lepper — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:14:15 +0000</p> <strong>By Geoff Lepper 48minutes.net</strong> I’m not sure if Anthony Randolph rents or owns his in-season home here in the Bay Area, so I don’t know which piece of advice to give him. It’s either: a) Call your landlord and find out what you need to do to ensure to get your security deposit back. or b) Call a good real-estate agent and get started on staging that sucker, because with this market, it could take months to sell. Whatever is the case, it appears obvious from general manager Larry Riley’s comments Saturday night that Randolph is on the block and that the Warriors expect to give up the second-year forward in the near future. <a href="http://48minutes.net/2010/02/07/larry-riley-makes-it-clear-prepare-yourself-for-life-after-anthony-randolph/">Read the rest of this entry...</a> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Y0FL_0w7O4bR6X-hTgpVz7Dn_zg/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Y0FL_0w7O4bR6X-hTgpVz7Dn_zg/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> </main></body></html>
