One night after Los Angeles Clippers guard Shaun Livingston dislocated his left knee in gruesome fashion, the Warriors had a scary moment of their own Wednesday.

Forward Josh Powell spent the night at St. Luke's Hospital in Milwaukee as a precautionary measure after a chilling collision late in the Warriors' 122-101 loss to the Bucks. More about his injury, which was apparently to the head and/or neck, will be known today when, according to a team official, Powell is expected to join the Warriors in Chicago.

Hustling after a loose ball with just over a minute to play, Powell dived at the feet of Bucks guard Lynn Greer. Powell kept sliding and rammed into the scorer's table headfirst.

The remaining crowd and the Warriors bench gasped as Powell lay on his back for several seconds with what looked like a neck injury.

Guard Stephen Jackson, who has been one of the most important Warriors at trying to fill the void left behind as point guard Baron Davis recovers from arthroscopic knee surgery, had X-rays taken of his left big toe after pain flared up during Sunday's game.

Jackson termed the move ``precautionary,'' and the team said it would not release a definitive diagnosis until today.

Jackson said he has dealt with pain on the bottom of his foot for a couple of years, but it worsened significantly after a Laker, possibly 275-pound center Andrew Bynum, landed on him during the second half.

``Today I got it stepped on, and the pain got to the point where it was too much to bear, so I wanted to get it X-rayed and see what the problem was,'' Jackson said. ``My big toe is just real bruised, and I just want to make sure it's a bruise and nothing else.''

``It would be tough'' if Jackson is sidelined, Warriors guard Jason Richardson said. ``Steve is a guy who scores for us, does a lot of things. But it's been like that all season long, where we haven't been healthy.''

Baron Davis was at the Warriors' game on Saturday against the Clippers.

Davis said he was going to continue to work in Los Angeles with physical therapist Judy Seto. He has a check-up slated for early next week.

``As far as I know, I'm here until I'm cleared (medically),'' Davis said. ``I can't wait to get back and work with my strength and conditioning guys and the coaching staff and be making progress toward getting back on the court. I miss my teammates. I miss my coaches. I miss being out there.''

Former NBA star Latrell Sprewell, accused of assaulting his girlfriend in front of their children, may communicate with his children only by phone, e-mail or text message.

Harrison Town Judge Marc Lust extended an order of protection Friday keeping Sprewell -- best known for choking Golden State Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo at a 1997 practice -- away from girlfriend Candace Cabbil and their four children.

The Golden State Warriors have reportedly been shopping Jason Richardson to 'everybody.'  They have been the team most eager to acquire Jason Kidd.

The Nets are reluctant to take on Richardson's contract and that of Adonal Foyle, which would likely have to be included in order to match the salaries.

Mickael Pietrus' name was thrown into the rumor mill on Wednesday when Jason Quick told a Portland radio station that the Blazers had offered Juan Dixon for the Golden State swingman.

`If something happens, something happens. I don't really mind,'' Pietrus said. ``I'm not (nervous), because I'm already a vet. I'm already in my fourth year, and I've been through a lot of rumors and everything. My focus is here. I don't think about any (rumors). I think about today tonight, and tomorrow tomorrow.''

On Monday, Chris Mullin said he'd be comfortable making another trade, even one as large as the eight-player deal the Warriors and Pacers completed last month.

"I think right now we've got a group of guys who all want to stay here," Richardson said. "They all want to see this thing turned around."

The Golden State Warriors have recalled rookie center Patrick O?Bryant from the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League, Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin announced today.

O?Bryant, 20, has appeared in 17 games overall this season in two stints with the Jam, averaging 11.1 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.94 blocks in 29.7 minutes per contest.  Over the last 10 games, O?Bryant is averaging 14.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.50 blocks and 1.6 assists in 34.2 minutes per contest, while shooting 53.2% (59-111 FG) from the field.  He has recorded five double-doubles and pulled down 10-or-more rebounds six times, including each of the last five contests.  

The 7?0?? center was originally assigned to the NBA Development League on December 30 before being recalled on January 17 for the Warriors game in Los Angeles against the Clippers that evening.  He was re-assigned to the Jam on January 19 and has appeared in 11 games during his most recent stint with the club.

According to Peter Vecsey, the Warriors and Lakers are the favorites to land Jason Kidd, should the Nets decide to deal him.

Over the past week, the Warriors have communicated interest in Kidd, who grew up mere minutes from Oracle Arena.

The Sophomores put a record-setting 155-114 pounding on the Rookies in the 2007 Rookie-Sophomore game Friday night, their fifth straight win in a series that is becoming a mismatch.

MVP David Lee did not miss a shot, going 14-14 from the field on his way to 30 points. He also added 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

Monta Ellis of Golden State added 28 points on a number of dunks as the sophomores set a game scoring record, surpassing the 142 points they scored in 2004. They shot 74.7 percent (68-of-91) and have won the last five games.

Chris Paul, the reigning Rookie of the Year, added 16 points, 17 assists and nine steals.

Rudy Gay of Memphis and Utah's Paul Millsap each scored 22 points for the rookies, who never led and trailed by as many as 43 points.

"Next year, when we come back, we're not going to be as happy to be here," Portland's Brandon Roy said. "We're going to be ready. They caught us off-guard."
