Andris Biedrins: Won't play tonight against the Lakers 

The Warriors were supposed to be at full strength for this game. Or pretty close to it anyway.

Instead, the Warriors will take on the L.A. Lakers tonight at Oracle Arena missing Andris Biedrins, Kelenna Azubuike and maybe even Marco Belinelli. And, of course, Brandan Wright, too.

Azubuike emerged from Wednesday morning's shootaround limping on his left leg. He has a left knee contusion.

And Biedrins still isn't ready to return from his sprained ankle.

As for Marco Belinelli, he may need a little more time, at least according to coach Don Nelson. Belinelli has been out for five weeks since spraining his ankle against the Indiana Pacers.

Nelson said Belinelli practiced on Tuesday night. But Nelson also said he wasn't sure if Belinelli was able yet to play in a game.

Wright has missed the past 17 games because of a dislocated shoulder. He doesn't appear to be close.
