Barbosa May Return Friday Against Lakers
Leandro Barbosa, who had surgery on his right wrist six weeks ago, returned to practice, and Gentry hopes he’ll be available to play against the Lakers.
“I’ll speak with the trainers, but he’ll do a little more contact stuff (today) and practice Thursday, and if everything is OK he should be ready to go, I would think.”
Barbosa said his right arm is still “a little weak” and there is some swelling, but he added that if he feels comfortable Thursday he likely will play Friday.
“I’m very hungry to come back and help my teammates,” he said. “We’ll see what happens.”
