    Until the end of the first quarter, that is.

    That's when Warriors forward Al Harrington took an elbow to the head from Atlanta Hawks center Zaza Pachulia, knocking him out of the second quarter altogether and leaving him loopy for the rest of the night.

    "My head's never hurt like this before," said Harrington, sporting a quarter-sized welt above his right ear where Pachulia connected after hitting a layup with 29.3 seconds left in the quarter.

    "He's known for that, too," said Harrington, who spent last season alongside Pachulia in Atlanta. "I should have known better."

    Harrington returned in the second half after icing the wound, but was rendered ineffective, delivering two points on 1-for-3 shooting, two rebounds and three personal fouls in 14 minutes.

    "He wasn't the same after that," Nelson said. "I don't know if he was dizzy or whatever, but he wasn't a factor."

    Harrington said an initial doctor's examination ruled out a concussion, but was going to have more extensive tests before the team flew out to Denver. He was "hopeful" he could play tonight against the Nuggets.</div>

    I doubt he ever counts Foyle as available [​IMG] .

    Following the game on Yahoo Gamecast I was wondering if Harrington got injured. I think he came back in the game later, but like Nelson said, he was a nonfactor.
