Ezeli (ankle) participated in a 3-on-3 scrimmage following Monday's practice, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Ezeli has missed 15 straight games with a sprained ankle but is expected to make his return in the near future. It could come as early as Tuesday against Chicago, though the big man may have trouble finding minutes on a nightly basis behind Andrew Bogut, David Lee and Marreese Speights.
