Warriors forward Randolph will be out for two months

The Golden State Warriors forward Anthony Randolph will not be available to play with the team for at least two months. After undergoing an MRI exam Monday on his injured left ankle, Randolph was told that there is a tear of two outside ligaments in the ankle and a sprain in another ligament. Thus he will be wearing a walking boot to protect the ankle for three weeks before being re-evaluated.

Randolph left Friday night’s 108-101 home victory over Kings jersey late in the first quarter with the injury. He collapsed to the floor after a guard wearing NO. 13 Kings jersey missed a driving layup at the buzzer and lay on the ground for several moments before teammates helped him off the court.

The second-year pro averaged 11.6 points and a team-leading 6.5 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game this season. And he had been making positive strides and was given more responsibility recently. However, the injury is more than a bit of setback for him. During his absence, the Warriors will give Ronny Turiaf, Vladimir Radmanovic and Devean George more playing time.
