The Golden State Warriors lose Kwame Brown for the next three months
The Warriors will be without 29-year old center Kwame Brown at least the next three months due to torn pectoral muscles. He has played in 9 games (3 starts) for the Warriors this year and he is averaging 20.8 minutes, 6.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. 25-year old Andris Biedrins will get his starting job back. He has played in 6 games (all starts) for the Warriors so far this year and he is averaging 13.8 minutes, 3.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.5 blocked shots per game. The Warriors need Biedrins to get more physical around the basket as he has only attempted two free throws this year, missing both of them. 24-year old Ekpe Udoh will likely also see a bump in minutes for the Warriors going forward. Udoh has played in 9 games (0 starts) for the Warriors so far this year and he is averaging 16.1 minutes, 4.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. The Warriors have high hopes for Udoh.
