The Sacramento Bee is reporting that the Warriors could extend the 30-game suspension of guard Monta Ellis, possibly all the way to voiding the six-year, $66 million deal he signed in July.

The team would only do so if he struggles to recover from a moped-induced ankle injury that is now expected to sideline him until December or January.

At nearly 23, Ellis is young, but Golden State might want to get themselves off the hook for the $66 million they owe him should he show signs of difficulty returning to form.

If the Warriors did end of voiding the contract, which appears unlikely right now, Ellis would be an unrestricted free agent.
