Harrison Barnes passed the NBA's concussion tests after his hard fall during Game 6 on Friday, which resulted in six stitches above his right eye.

Barnes heads into the summer in good health, and he'll be a not-so-secret sleeper pick in fantasy leagues after lighting up for playoff averages of 16.1 points on 44.4 percent FGs and 85.7 percent FTs, 6.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks.

Andrew Bogut (ankle) admitted that he could "hardly move" during the Warriors' Game 6 loss to the Spurs.

He will spend his summer in Australia, resting his ankle while working out to keep his weight down. "I anticipate that three or four months rest should do a world of wonders," he said. Bogut showed flashes of dominance in the postseason but as usual the success of his 2013-14 season is contingent upon his notoriously fragile health.

Stephan Curry said he's been trying to convince Jarrett Jack to re-sign with Golden State for a while.

"This is the place for him," Curry said. "He's bounced around a lot. For him to have hopefully found a home here for the foreseeable future would be huge. I know he wants to be part of a winning team, and I think we have that here now." Jack, who is scheduled to be a free agent again this summer, apparently agrees. The veteran point guard reiterated after Golden State's Game 6 loss that he clearly wants to be back in Golden State. The question is whether the Warriors can afford to give Jack the raise he'll definitely be looking to get.

Stephen Curry said he will work on getting stronger in the offseason.

"I’ll work on getting stronger, continue to work on my body," Curry said about his offseason plans. "The more minutes you play and the more grind and physical play you endure through the course of a season, you have to re-charge and get your body right for the next season." He had to deal with ankle surgery in the offseason last year, so this year he can try to get better as a player rather than rehab. Curry will be off the board in the first round next year.

Harrison Barnes said Friday that he felt fine after a scary fall in the second quarter Thursday night in which he landed on his head.

Barnes tried to come out and play the second half but eventually left complaining of headaches. It's unclear if Barnes suffered a concussion, but he'll have the entire offseason to let the symptoms subside after the Warriros were eliminated by the Spurs.

Andrew Bogut said he expects to be 100 percent by the start of next season.

Bogut clarified the statement by saying that could change if "I go out and get hit by a car or something," which sounds funny but isn't all that far from the realm of possibilities given his injury history. Bogut's surgically repaired left ankle limited him to just 32 games in the regular season and affected him enough in the postseason that he required a painkilling injection during the first round. If Bogut can stay healthy for an entire season, he could have a strong fantasy impact but that's a very big "if" at this point in his career.

Jarrett Jack reiterated his desire to return to the Warriors after the Game 6 loss to the Spurs.

"Usually before I would do any media, I would make sure I was dressed a certain way. I brought one of my best suits. But looking down at this jersey, it’s just a sense of pride I don’t think I’ve ever felt as a professional. … Nothing in my closet is better than what I have on now," Jack said. It's an emotional statement, but a telling one considering how much Jack went on the record about loving the Warriors this year. Jack's future is uncertain as an unrestricted free agent looking for a raise.
May 17 - 9:42 AM

David Lee played 12 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Spurs, scoring nine points with five boards, two assists and one steal.

He wasn't anywhere close to 100 percent and deserves a ton of credit for playing through a complete tear in his right hip flexor. Lee led the NBA in double-doubles and figures to be back to full strength for next season. His offensive game makes him one of the best power forwards in fantasy hoops.
May 17 - 1:36 AM

Jarrett Jack scored 15 points with two boards, one assist, two steals and no turnovers in 32 minutes against the Spurs on Thursday.

His contract is up and he'll be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Jack made it clear that he's capable of being a starting point guard and was one of the best sixth men in the NBA. The Warriors and Jack haven't made much progress in bringing him back, so he could be on a new team for next season.
May 17 - 1:32 AM

Klay Thompson shot 4-of-12 from the field in a 94-82 loss to the Spurs on Thursday, scoring 10 points with three assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 42 minutes.

After Klay's 34-point explosion in Game 2, he basically disappeared in this series. Klay shot 33.9 percent from the field in those four games and Gregg Popovich clearly had his eye on limiting Golden State's perimeter shooting. While Stephen Curry gets all the press, Thompson wasn't too shabby this year ranking third in 3-pointers during the regular season. He'll be off the board in the first 40 picks in fantasy drafts next season.
May 17 - 1:25 AM

Stephen Curry scored 22 points on 10-of-25 shooting during a season-ending loss to the Spurs on Thursday, adding four boards, six assists, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

It's sad news for the NBA to have Curry out of the playoffs with his entertaining play over the past month. Curry had a record-breaking season with his 3-point shooting and has solidified himself as the league's best shooter. As far as fantasy goes, Curry is going to be a risky pick in the first round with his perpetually injured ankles, but given the way he lit it up this year, he's probably worth it.
May 17 - 1:18 AM

Harrison Barnes is dealing with headaches and will not return to Thursday's game.

Uh oh. Barnes headed to the locker room after an extremely hard fall and landed on his head, then came out to start the second half. The Warriors training staff is immediately going to be put under the microscope for this and they'll have some explaining to do in the post-game. Barnes finished with nine points, four boards and one assist in 31 minutes.
May 17 - 12:55 AM

Harrison Barnes received six stitches above his left eye and started the second half on Thursday.

There was a chance he suffered a concussion with the severity in which his head hit the floor in the second quarter, but that's obviously not the case. The Warriors are going to need Barnes to play well and he's been terrific with 25.5 points per game in his previous two contests. He didn't really do much throughout the course of the regular season, but his big-time playoff production is putting him on the fantasy map for next year even though David Lee isn't healthy.

Harrison Barnes took a hard fall in the second quarter of Thursday's game and went to the locker room.

He went up to try and block Boris Diaw in the paint, but was up-ended and landed very hard. Barnes' head hit the ground and chances are the team will give him a battery of concussion tests before deciding on his status for the rest of the night. He was bleeding above his left eye as he walked back to the locker room under his own power and we will update you as soon as the info is available.
May 16 - 11:42 PM

Festus Ezeli will start for the Warriors in Game 6 on Thursday.

Mark Jackson doesn't want to play small ball this time, which could end up being a mistake. The Spurs shot 10-of-21 from deep in Game 5 and they'll likely get plenty of open looks with Andrew Bogut and Ezeli down low. Of course, this could just be posturing and Ezeli isn't likely to get many minutes in the grand scheme of things. Carl Landry moves to the bench.
