Baron Davis (sprained right ankle) was examined by doctors Wednesday and will remain in his immobilizing boot until further notice. The point guard is set to be examined again next week.

According to ESPN.com, Warriors rookie Chris Taft will undergo surgery Tuesday to fix a herniated disc in his back, effectively ending his season.

Taft hasn't played since Jan. 11, missing the last 32 games, and averaged 2.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 17 games this season.

The Golden State Warriors have signed guard Will Bynum to a second 10-day contract prior to this evening?s game versus the Washington Wizards, Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin announced today.  Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released.

Bynum, who signed his first 10-day with the Warriors on March 17, has appeared in four games with Golden State, averaging 1.0 point and 1.3 assists in 7.3 minutes.  Bynum began the season with the Roanoke Dazzle of the NBA Development League, where he averaged 24.0 points, 6.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.66 steals in 29 contests.  He led the D-League in scoring at the time of his call-up and earlier today was named to the 2005-06 All-NBA Development League First Team.

Warriors guard Baron Davis is set to miss at least three more games with an ankle injury, according to insidebayarea.com.

The team said Davis, who saw orthopedic specialist John Belzer on Thursday, "is making progress" but will continue to wear a protective boot until his upcoming appointment with Belzer scheduled for next Thursday.

Davis has missed 11 games to this point with the injury.

Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks appeared to have the game under control against the Golden State Warriors, but missed free throws down the stretched opened the door to some last second heroics by high flyer Jason Richardson.

Richardson's 40 points, including the game-winning three pointer, trumped 51 points from Mavericks' forward Dirk Nowitzki, giving the Warriors an improbable 122-121 win.

The Warriors announced forward Chris Taft (back spasms) will not play the remainder of the season. Taft has missed 49 games this season, including the last 32.

Taft initially injured his back during a summer league game. If it's determined offseason rehab won't do the trick, Taft may need to have surgery, which became an option after Taft's visit to a back specialist a couple weeks ago. A team official said the decision on surgery will be made at some point in the next two weeks.

With changes to the roster this offseason a real possibility, Golden State Warriors guard Jason Richardson brought up a scary thought for Warriors fans.

"What if I'm the one holding this team back?" Richardson half-jokingly asked last week. "What if it's me that needs to go?"

The Golden State Warriors have signed guard Will Bynum of the NBA Development League to a 10-day contract, Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin announced today.

In 29 games with the Roanoke Dazzle this season, Bynum is averaging 24.0 points, 6.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.66 steals in 37.7 minutes per contest.  He currently leads the D-League in scoring, while ranking second in assists and minutes and also ranking fifth in steals. Bynum is the ninth GATORADE Call-UP of the 2005-06 NBA Development League season and the 60th overall since the league began play in November 2001.

According to the Associated Press, Warriors guard Baron Davis will rest his ankle for at least the next week, and may be out of action for even longer.

Davis missed seven games after spraining his ankle on Feb. 11, then played limited minutes as a reserve in the Warriors' last six games. Golden State is 3-10 since Davis' injury.

Mike Dunleavy's 2005-2006 disaster is making him allude to former world leaders to get through it.

"I saw a quote from Winston Churchill," Dunleavy said. " 'When you go through hell, keep going.' I think that sums up everything that's going on with this team."

Dunleavy's 23.2 percentage on 3-point tries is part of a prolonged slump that turned him philosophical.
