Ezeli (leg) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup with the Clippers, Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Ezeli, who missed all of last season while recovering from knee surgery, has been dealing with inflammation in his shin since mid-summer. He returned to practice a week ago and is targeting a return Tuesday night. If he's ultimately held out, expect him to give it a go in Golden State's exhibition finale Friday. Ezeli may require some time to readjust to the speed of the NBA, but once he's healthy he'll serve as the Warriors' backup center.
