Lakers forward Matt Barnes had 40 cc's of fluid drained from his surgically repaired right knee earlier this week.

"They drained the fluid out of it so I can move now," Barnes said. "So, I'm excited ... With the swelling and the fluid being gone, I can bend my knee now. Before, I couldn't even bend my knee."

Barnes, who averaged 6.7 points and 4.3 rebounds during the regular season, was limited in practice Saturday.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson listed Barnes' status for Sunday's Game 1 against the New Orleans Hornets as "probable" on Friday. When asked about Barnes on Saturday, Jackson said Barnes was "questionable."
