Warriors forward Louis Amundson plans to return to the court on Dec. 7, which also happens to be his 28th birthday.

"That was my goal originally, to get back on my birthday," Amundson said.

"That's kind of my goal. We'll see. It depends on what the doctor says and what the physical therapist says."

Monday will mark five weeks after he had surgery to repair the dislocation and fracture of a finger that he sustained in a preseason game at Portland on Oct. 16.

He was expected to be out six to eight weeks at the time of the surgery.
