Warriors forward David Lee has been cleared to rejoin the team and will be a game-time decision for Saturday night's game against the Timberwolves.

"We'll look forward to seeing him and that happy face and the personality he brings to this team," Golden State coach Keith Smart said.

Lee initially had surgery Nov. 12, two days after he cut the inside of his left elbow on the mouth of New York's Wilson Chandler.

A fragment of Chandler's tooth stayed in Lee's arm. After Lee's elbow swelled and bled, he was given antibiotics in an emergency room and needed more surgery.
