Injured or a no-show? Harrington's agent and Warriors have a history

Let's be clear: I have no idea whether or not Al Harrington has a bad back.

All I know is coach Don Nelson said he did early Friday afternoon, and that's why Harrington wasn't at shoot-around.

It is curious that the injury wasn't mentioned on Thursday, when Nelson said it occurred.

In addition, Harrington's agent, Dan Fegan, told Tim Kawakami that this injury has been around for a while.

Fegan said the Warriors have known about the injury since training camp.

One last time: I have no idea whether or not Harrington's back is hurt.

But I think it's fair to point out this isn't the first time something like this has happened with the Warriors and a Fegan client.

Here's a little blast from the past from the classy Brad Weinstein, formerly of the SF Chronicle:
