Leandro Barbosa: (Achilles) Out Friday

Barbosa won't play Thursday due to a sore Achilles, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Barbosa will get the night off with a tender Achilles, but the issue is considered minor and it's more just a preventative measure. He should be fine for the playoff stretch, with the possibility of a return to the court Saturday against the Timberwolves.
