Baron's Hamstring Feeling Better
"I'm struggling offensively, but I'll definitely start to pick it up, because I'm feeling better," Davis said. Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Diogu Back From Injury
"No point saving him," coach Mike Montgomery said. "If there's a situation where he can run up and down and we can simplify (the offense) for a couple of minutes, we'll see what he does. If he looks like he's comfortable, we'll probably try to go back to him in the second half." Diogu has been out since fracturing the fourth metacarpal bone in his left hand on Oct. 10, the last day of training camp. More than six weeks later, he finally went through a full-contact workout. The Warriors held a light practice after completing a back-to-back set the night before, so most of Diogu's work came from a post-practice scrimmage with the team's younger players and Calbert Cheaney. Diogu felt good enough to hang on a rim following a dunk and reported no pain afterward. The rookie will wear a protective glove on his non-shooting hand -- think boxing glove with the top and bottom cut off -- but said it shouldn't affect his ballhandling or shooting.

The Warriors are officially listing Pietrus as day-to-day, but Pietrus estimated he would be out two to six weeks. He said the injury occurred when the Nets' Marc Jackson attempted to draw an offensive foul on Derek Fisher and instead was hit with a blocking foul. Jackson tumbled backward into Pietrus, who was trying to position himself for a rebound. Pietrus immediately knew something was wrong. "That's why I asked for a timeout, because I could not run, I could not do anything," said Pietrus, who was taken to the locker room for X-rays and will be re-examined today. "That's basketball. I'm young, 23 years old, I'm still a puppy; I got time to wake up. I think I'm going to be all right. It's not like I'm going to lose a year. Couple of weeks and I'm going to be back."

Baron Davis, who had seven points and 14 assists on Saturday, is pretty much over his strained left hamstring, the Contra Costa Times reports. 
Ike Diogu, the Warriors' No. 1 pick, practiced Tuesday for the first time this season and has received medical clearance to play. If all goes accordingly, Diogu will make his NBA debut against San Antonio tonight. 
Warriors swingman Mickael Pietrus left with a right knee sprain with 4:35 remaining in the second quarter and did not return. He had his knee in a blue wrap and was walking on crutches in the postgame locker room.
