Ezeli (ankle) will begin a rehab stint in the D-League beginning Saturday, Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Ezeli, who has missed 16 straight games, will report to the Santa Cruz Warriors for a short stint as he continues to work back from an ankle sprain. Golden State plays two games over the weekend, but if all goes well for Ezeli in the D-League, he could return to NBA action next week.
