Warriors' guard Monta Ellis is getting closer to his return to the court and is excited to help the team get back to their winning ways.

"We've got to bring Warriors basketball back - that's running, that's what I bring to the table," Ellis said after doing some light jump-shooting drills at the team's practice facility on Thursday.

"I will recover 100 percent and be the same player I was before I left, or even stronger," he declared.
