Warriors are too good at rebounding so they don't need a 10 rebounds/game player.

But a day after captain Stephen Jackson said he hopes his teammate "sucks it up and comes back and thinks about the team and fights through the injury for us" - making it sound as though it were a matter of Pietrus' pain tolerance - the Warriors made the highly unusual step of releasing plenty of data regarding the injury.
According to the club's news release, Pietrus was examined Sunday and while the groin is progressing nicely, the hamstring "still has inadequate flexibility or strength to begin running" and that to do so at this time, "he increases the risk of re-injuring himself."
Pietrus will travel on the Warriors' upcoming four-game trip but is considered doubtful for games in San Antonio on Tuesday and Dallas on Wednesday.
"Well, we've done a good job of playing through injuries all year," Warriors Coach Don Nelson said. "There's some of them that you just can't play through, and the groin is a tough one, and that's an individual thing. I have no complaints about that. If somebody's injured, they're injured"
