Warriors' Shaun Livingston: Out Thursday vs. Clippers

Livingston (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Analysis:

As expected, Livingston will sit out for his second straight game, opening up more time for Ian Clark and Patrick McCaw with the second unit. The Warriors are back on the schedule Saturday against the Kings, but Livingston will need to demonstrate more progress in his recovery from a mid-back strain before gaining clearance to play.
