The Warriors signed Troy Hudson in the off-season to give Baron Davis a break once in a while, but it hasn’t worked that way this season. Hudson will miss the rest of the season after undergoing hip surgery. Hudson only played in 9 games this season for the Warriors and he averaged 10.3 minutes, 3.1 points, 0.8 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game.

Stephen Jackson has a small fracture in his left big toe. He’s going to try to tough it out and the Warriors really need him. Jackson has played in 54 games this season and he’s averaging 15.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. Jackson has fit in real well in the Warriors offense so they can’t afford to lose him.

The Warriors will be without starting point guard Baron Davis indefinately after having knee surgery. In 42 games this season, Davis is averaging 20.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 2.1 steals. Those numbers will be hard to replace but Monta Ellis and Sarunas Jasikevicius will try to replace him. They should be able to replace the point and rebounds, but the assists and steals will be hard for them to duplicate.

Mickael Pietrus will miss a week after he twisted his left ankle last night. The Warriors will miss this fast improving player who’s averaged 13.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game this season. Pietrus also has an excellent shooting touch as he’s hit 50.3% of his shots this year.

Jason Richardson will be out two months after breaking his right hand during the December 30th game with the Kings. Richardson has had a hard time fitting into Don Nelson’s offense as he was averaging 12.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Richardson also has not been shooting well as he only has hit 37.4% of his shots from the floor.
