Monta Ellis decided to skip the start of the Warriors five-game road trip because of a combination of ankle and knee sprains, as well as back soreness.
vvvvvv
Monta Ellis won't join the Warriors on their road trip after an MRI revealed a lower back strain.
This news rules Ellis out for the next five games, leading us to believe this is much more serious than a simple sore back. The good news is that Ellis' knee and ankle sprains should be healed by the time the Warriors get home. For now, we're not expecting Ellis to shut it down. C.J. should see a major bump in minutes.
AND
The Warriors have signed forward Reggie Williams to a 10-day contract.
Golden State once again tapped the D-League to fill out their injured roster.
This dude Williams went to the Virginia Military Institute and is the leading scorer there, and is only the second player to come out of there to go to the NBA. He's the 16th D-league call up this season, and 5th by the warriors.
