Hooped Up

And the bad luck keeps a rollin’ for the Golden State Warriors with the news regarding Monta Ellis.

“The Warriors got their second dose of bad news this offseason when they found out Monta Ellis will miss at least a month of the upcoming season with an ankle injury.

Nearly two months after the Warriors lost point guard Baron Davis to free agency, his heir apparent, Ellis, had surgery for a torn deltoid ligament Wednesday morning after sustaining a severe high ankle sprain working out and will be sidelined for at least three months. The Warriors open the season against New Orleans on Oct. 29.
