It might not be the kind of call-up DeMarcus Nelson wants, but for one game he'll be back in the NBA.
Warriors coach Don Nelson said Nelson will be called up for next Wednesday's game against the Pacers in Indianapolis.
The reason: C.J. Watson's uncle passed away, and Watson will be in Las Vegas with family that day.
Nelson, undrafted out of Duke, was the Warriors' starting point guard on opening night against the New Orleans Hornets.
Nelson started for the first five games, then came off the bench in the sixth game before being sent down to Bakersfield
As expected Corey Maggette won't play tonight against the Rockets;
Neither Brandan Wright nor Ronny Turiaf will play, either. Both are out with the flu.
