The Golden State Warriors could be without their starting backcourt of Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Ellis will definitely miss the game after he flew to Mississippi to attend the funeral of his grandmother.
Curry is dealing with a sprained ankle that forced him to miss Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks and kept him out of practice Friday.
Ellis is leading the team in scoring with an average of 21.0 points per game.
