Brandon Rush will have ACL surgery in New York on Wednesday.

Rush hopes to return for the start of the 2013-14 season, but we should have a more precise timetable after the surgery. He blew out the knee in November, but delayed surgery long enough for his damaged MCL to heal.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Brandon Rush not only tore the ACL in his left knee, but the MCL as well.

He'll have to wait for the MCL injury to heal before having ACL surgery, which means December is the earliest that he'll go under the knife. Either way, his season is over and he'll fight to be ready to go next October.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Brandon Rush was diagnosed with a torn ACL to his left knee and is expected to miss the rest of the season.

It's a devastating blow to Rush and the Warriors. Rush has been an important part of Golden State's rotation and they lack depth at the wing positions. Harrison Barnes is expected to see his minutes extended and his 3-point prowess puts him right at the top of the list for players to add in all leagues. The UNC rookie played just six minutes of the first half on Friday, then followed it up with 17 minutes in the second half. Jarrett Jack could also get more minutes as the Warriors may utilize a three-guard lineup, but Klay Thompson guarding NBA small forwards sounds like a recipe for disaster. Jack still warrants consideration in 12-team leagues, though.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

In an interview with Ric Bucher, Warriors assistant coach Pete Myers said the team will use committee approach should Brandon Rush miss time.

"We can slide Jack into the backcourt, and also extend Barnes minutes," Myers said. While Barnes is the best looking add at this time, we wouldn't bend over backwards to grab him. He did start the second half, though.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Brandon Rush may have dislocated his knee and could be out for "a while," according to beat writer Marcus Thompson.

He's going to get an MRI on Saturday and there's certainly an ominous feel to this injury. Harrison Barnes is a great speculative add for owners that aren't happy with the last player on their bench.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Brandon Rush injured his left knee and he is scheduled to have an MRI on Saturday.

He went down in a heap, tried to get up and walk it off, then had to lay back down from what looked to be agonizing pain. Recent reports from Ric Bucher have been optimistic, but there is nothing concrete. Harrison Barnes would see a sizable increase in minutes to make him a near must-add player, but owners shouldn't cut a player with value to make the speculative add. Stay tuned.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Brandon Rush scored all 14 of his points in the first half of Wednesday's win over the Suns.

Rush hit 6-of-9 shots and played 24 minutes off the bench, but Jarrett Jack got hot in the second half and limited his run. He's worth keeping an eye on, but like most other bench players in Golden State, isn't a must-own fantasy player at this point.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Brandon Rush will begin the season in a reserve role for the Warriors.

We wouldn't say that Rush was outplayed by rookie Harrison Barnes this preseason, but Mark Jackson feels he'd be a better fit with the second unit. It's a minor blow to Rush's fantasy appeal but his 3-point shooting allows him to return around 8th round value in 26 minutes per game.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Brandon Rush scored just four points, while adding five boards, three assists and two steals in 19 minutes on Tuesday.

Rush lost a little bit of ground with Harrison Barnes playing well. However, Rush's well-rounded game should give him the edge to hold off the rookie as Golden State's starting small forward on opening night.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Brandon Rush scored 18 points off the bench on Friday, hitting 6-of-11 shots with four rebounds and a steal in 26 minutes.

Rush hit two 3-pointers and outproduced tonight's starter Harrison Barnes, who scored six points on 2-of-5 shooting with two triples and not much else in 25 minutes. The bottom line is that Rush's defense is a better fit with one of the league's worst defensive starting fives, and the real issue is which guy takes the lion's share of minutes.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Brandon Rush came off the bench behind Harrison Barnes on Monday and played 16 minutes, finishing with five points, five fouls and a 3-pointer.

Rush is battling with Barnes for the starting SF job and so far, Barnes is outplaying him. Whoever starts will be worth a draft pick, but chances are the non-starter will also offer some fantasy value.

Brandon Rush - G/F - Warriors

Potential starting SF Brandon Rush worked with the first unit in Wednesday's practice.

Mark Jackson said not to read into his pairings, which had Harrison Barnes with the second unit and Richard Jefferson with the benchwarmers. At this early stage this is how we see things playing out, and if that's the case then Rush will be worth a look at the end of your draft.
