Warriors' Festus Ezeli recalled from D-League after conditioning stint
It's finally here. #FullSquad is back.
The Golden State Warriors recalled center Festus Ezeli from the D-League on Monday following a two-game conditioning stint. Ezeli had been sidelined since suffering a sprained left ankle on, you guessed it, Festivus.
This will mark the first time all season that the entire Warriors roster is healthy, other than David Lee's lone early-season appearance Nov. 5. It also restores their ample frontcourt depth - Ezeli likely slots in as the No. 3 center with Andrew Bogut healthy and Marreese Speights still playing relatively well.
In 21 games before the injury, Ezeli was averaging 4.3 points and three rebounds in 11.7 minutes - but had been forced into starting duty for seven games, during which he averaged 6.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. In two D-League games to get his legs under him, Ezeli played 42 minutes, scoring 20 points with 10 rebounds and six blocks.
