Golden State Warriors guard/forward Stephen Jackson underwent successful surgery today to remove multiple bone spurs from his left foot, the team announced. The surgery, which was performed by Dr. Thomas Clanton in Houston, Texas, revealed that the bone spurs were located directly over nerve tissue under the big toe. Jackson will be sidelined for the remainder of the season and will begin rehabilitation in approximately six (6) weeks.
Jackson, 30, appeared in 59 games this season for Golden State, averaging 20.7 points, 6.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.49 steals in 39.6 minutes per contest.

Warriors coach Don Nelson believes that the race to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals is wide-open.
"I think anybody can beat anybody," Nelson said. "I think it's like when we beat Dallas when we were eight and they were one. Everybody is trying to get to full strength, rest their guys and make sure everybody's healthy for the playoffs, as it should be."
Golden State completed one of the greatest upsets in NBA history when they defeated top-seeded Dallas in the first round of the 2007 playoffs. Nelson doesn't think the Lakers are immune from such a fall.
"Even the Lakers, without [Andrew] Bynum, are lacking something," Nelson said. "They're still winning, but they're not as powerful. They need a full roster. It'll be interesting to see when everyone has their full roster how everything shakes out."

The Raptors are unsure of whether or not they'll shop Chris Bosh this summer, but sources indicate that the Warriors are interested in the All-Star forward.
Golden State reportedly inquired about Bosh prior to the Feb. 19 trade deadline, but Toronto wasn't interested in making a major move.
If the Raptors do decide to scrap their current roster and move Bosh, the Bulls are expected to make a play as well.
