Warriors PF David Lee said on my radio show this afternoon that he will play again this postseason; also said sur- gery to repair his torn right hip flexor is still "a likely possibility" once the season is over. The conversation afterward painted it as a likelihood, in order to make sure that he'd be ready to go next season. Forgoing surgery would allow him to come back with greater flexibility whenever he resumed training, but it would leave him open to possibly needing more recovery time and potential setbacks. We want to "make sure the problem is fixed," he said. Sulia

Battling a torn right hip flexor, an injury suffered in Game 1 of the Warriors’ first-round series against Denver, All-Star forward David Lee isn’t expecting to play much, if at all, in Game 1 of the series. For now, Lee is satisfied he will be available if Jackson wants him for a short stretch Monday. “It’s not like my injury is going to recover these next couple of weeks,” Lee said. “It’s torn and will probably require surgery when the season’s over, but I’ve gotten the green light to do what I can until that point.” Jackson said Lee will be active for Game 1 but stopped short of saying he would play.

He got off to a great start with his play in the Warriors' first-round upset of Denver. Against San Antonio, the No. 2 seed and a formidable inside team, Bogut's importance to the Warriors increases. He can make everyone forget about his "nightmare" season with a good showing in the second round. "I'm going to do my best, leave it all on the floor," said Bogut, whose ankle is still giving him problems. "It's a cliché, but that was my goal coming into the playoffs, knowing I had a subpar regular season. I was going to try to get something out of this season by having a successful playoff campaign." Oakland Tribune

There was plenty of talk at Warriors practice about taking their game to another level. For Bogut, though, it might be too much to ask that he play even better than he did in the first round. He won't elaborate on how he feels, because "everybody's banged up." "In fairness, he's not 100 percent right now," coach Mark Jackson said. "When he has a live body and he's feeling great, we feel comfortable with what he's doing on the floor. Some nights, or some days, obviously it's more of a challenge." Oakland Tribune

How, is unclear. He was supposed to be out for the season with a complete tear of his right hip flexor. But minutes before tipoff of Game 6, word got out that Lee was cleared to play. According to a team source, Lee was told he couldn't further damage his hip flexor, so he could play if he could handle the pain. San Jose Mercury-News
