Warriors' David West: Will not play Saturday vs. Kings

West (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings.

Analysis:

The absence will mark West's eight consecutive game missed due to a thumb fracture. There was some optimism following X-rays on Wednesday that he could be in line for a return Saturday, but the team will opt to exercise caution with the veteran. Kevin Looney and James McAdoo figure to continue providing depth at power forward in West's absence.
