The Warriors are awaiting results of a medical evaluation of Barnes' left ankle before offering a timetable for his return, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "It could be a few weeks and it could be a week," interim head coach Luke Walton said Saturday, regarding a potential timetable for the forward.

Analysis:

The Warriors have the luxury of not rushing Barnes back, something that became evident based on their first game without him Saturday against the Kings. In that contest, Brandon Rush started for him and scored 16 points in 19 minutes in what was yet another double-digit romp for the undefeated squad.
