Barbosa (shoulder) will likely be held out of action until early next week, Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Barbosa has missed five straight games due to a left shoulder sprain he suffered on Christmas Day against the Cavaliers. While Barbosa is out, Ian Clark and Shaun Livingston will continue to see extensive minutes. If Barbosa can recover quickly, he could play in either of the Warriors' back-to-back road games on Friday and Saturday. If not, a likely return date appears to be next Monday when the Warriors return home to take on the Heat.
