Warriors' Festus Ezeli (knee) will be re-evaluated in six weeks
Golden State Warriors center Festus Ezeli had arthroscopic surgery to clean debris from his left knee, and he will be re-evaluated in six weeks.
What It Means:
If he returned to the court in six weeks, there would only be a couple of weeks left in the regular season. Needless to say, it's safe to drop Ezeli in fantasy leagues. The good news is Ezeli should be ready to go for the postseason, but in the meantime, the Warriors will rely on Marreese Speights to fill the void.
Ezeli has been efficient in his backup role this season, posting a 4.1 nERD, which ranks 39th, in 40 games played. He's averaging 7.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game while posting a 56.7 True Shooting Percentage. Speights is averaging 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists since Ezeli has been out.
