<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Warriors, who have already lost 127 games due to injury, may be without a key player for at least a game. Guard Monta Ellis sprained his right ankle in the final minutes of Tuesday's 124-97 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He limped off the court with 5:38 left in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors down 24 points. After the game, he was on crutches, his right foot trapped in a boot. X-rays were negative. Ellis said his status for tonight's game depends on how he feels this morning. He is officially listed as day-to-day. "It's painful, but I'll be all right," Ellis said. Positioned on the left corner, he jab-stepped toward the baseline and was headed toward the middle when he stepped on the side of Cleveland guard David Wesley's foot. Ellis took a while getting up (as Al Harrington finished the play with a tip-in before a timeout) and limped gingerly to half court, where swingman Stephen Jackson and head athletic trainer Tom Abdenour helped him to the locker room. "You know how it is," said Ellis, who missed five games between the end of December and beginning of January with a bruised right shoulder. "You panic a little bit (when it first happens). That's all."</div> Source
I guess when you're on a 2nd round type contract, you better heal really fast. Ask Chris Taft how that went.
