Kwame Brown has surgery

As expected, Kwame Brown had surgery yesterday. The team called it "successful" and says he is expected to miss at least three months. That would mean Brown's earliest possible return date would be April 18 - in time to play the final six games of the season. Whether it will be worth it for him to return at that point, obviously, will have much to do with whether...

GS Warriors PG Stephen Curry gets double dose of disappointment

Stephen Curry got a double dose of disappointment Monday, and it showed in the usually calm and collected point guard.

Then, his right ankle didn't respond as well as hoped at practice...

GS Warriors owner Joe Lacob freaks out

The Warriors wished Joe Lacob a happy birthday Tuesday night with an improbable comeback victory over the Miami Heat .
