In the latest blow during a difficult summer for Golden State, Ellis -- just awarded one of the biggest pay raises in league history -- will be sidelined at least three months, possibly four, after suffering a severe high ankle sprain in his hometown of Jackson, Miss.

Ellis underwent surgery Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala., to repair a torn deltoid ligament in his left ankle, after he informed the club late last week that he had injured himself working out. More specifics about how Ellis sustained the injury were not immediately available.

Hopefully the Warriors won't suffer too much with the loss of Ellis, although i think they might, because i'm wondering who is going to run the point...
