Pietrus sidelined up to four weeks

11.23.2005

Oakland, CA (Basketball News) - Golden State Warriors guard/forward Mickael Pietrus will likely be sidelined up to four weeks after spraining the medial collateral ligament in his right knee during Monday’s 100-97 victory over the New Jersey Nets.

Pietrus left with the injury at the 4:35 mark of the second quarter and did not return. The Warriors forward had a follow-up examination on Tuesday with team orthopedic specialist Dr. John Belzer and an MRI confirmed the injury.

The 6-foot-6, 215-pound reserve averaged 10.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per game this season for Golden State (7-5), which visits the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
