Dorell Wright scored a career-high 30 points and drilled nine three-pointers to lead the Warriors to a 104-94 victory over the Timberwolves on Saturday night.

The win snapped Golden State's five-game losing streak.

"It's been 10 times better than what I thought it would be," said Wright, who signed with the Warriors this past offseason.

"I'm enjoying myself. We've struggled the past few games, but I think we're going to get back on the right track when we get everybody healthy."

Wright hit four 3-pointers during a three-and-a-half minute-stretch of the third quarter to help the Warriors take control.

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.

The Warriors are making forward Brandan Wright available via trade, according to ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

Stein cites NBA "front-office sources" in the report.

Golden State drafted Wright with the eighth overall pick back in 2007. He's only played in 77 games in his first three NBA seasons largely due to troubling shoulder injuries.

David Lee has been given clearance by doctors to resume light conditioning work after having the stitches removed from his injured left arm and the PICC-line (a peripherally inserted central catheter for IV’s) removed from his right arm.

Lee, who remains in Oakland and is working out at the team’s practice facility with Director of Athletic Development Mark Grabow, will be re-examined on Friday.

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.

Warriors forward David Lee was released from a hospital Thursday after undergoing a second procedure on his left elbow to treat an infection, according to an ESPN.com report.

He was released from Stanford Hospital and returned to his San Francisco home, where he will receive IVs and antibiotics and be monitored by Dr. Frank Chen.

Lee's arm is in a splint for now to restrict movement as he heals.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob defended his decision to make his son the first hire of the new regime, saying Tuesday that Kirk Lacob is "incredibly qualified and capable."

Kirk Lacob, who graduated from Stanford in June, was named the Warriors' director of basketball operations.

"Is this a good thing to do? It's a complicated question," Joe Lacob said in response to questions of nepotism. "But I intend to be in this business for a long time, and I intend to have him involved if he wants to be involved."

Warriors forward David Lee had his second surgical procedure to flush out an infection in his left elbow Monday.

Lee got a puncture wound from Wilson Chandler's tooth in the third quarter of Golden State's win over the Knicks last Wednesday.

"We tend to underestimate it, but those are just bad wounds," Dr. Bill Maloney said. "A mouth is so dirty that when there's a puncture wound, it often ends up just like this. We see them most typically on a Saturday night in the ER when somebody gets into a bar brawl."

Maloney said the infection may have to be washed out four or five times.

"Everybody wants him to get better and go back and play quickly, but the mistake we're trying to avoid is letting him get back too soon and letting it get stirred up again," Maloney said. "I would like to see the tissue return to its normal appearance, the wound to be completely healed and for him to have normal elbow function."

Warriors forward David Lee could return earlier than expected after undergoing surgery on his infected left elbow.

Lee will miss Monday's game against the Pistons, but could return later this week despite an initial two-week timetable.

He suffered a deep laceration on his left elbow during Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

After Monday's game, Golden State doesn't play against until Friday against New York.

Warriors forward David Lee needs surgery after an infection developed in a cut on his left elbow.

Lee flew back to Oakland from the team's road trip to undergo the procedure on Friday night.

He cut the inside of his left elbow in a nasty collision Wednesday with New York's Wilson Chandler, who lost teeth on the play and left a fragment of a tooth in Lee's arm.

Golden State doesn't yet know how long he'll be out.
