David Lee did not play in the Golden State Warriors' loss to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday due to a bruised right knee. -He took Sunday to rest, though, and is expected to be ready to play tonight against the New York Knicks. For my NY tweeps: David Lee (bruised right knee) sat out loss to Bucks but assured me he'd be ready to go for Monday's game vs. Knicks.- Ric Bucher (@RicBucher) March 10, 2013Lee is a big part of the Warriors' offense and defense. -Generally, when he is not on the court, they struggle. -However, when he does play, the Warriors are surprisingly good. -Overall, the team is 35-29. They hold the sixth spot in the Western Conference playoff picture.This season, Lee is averaging 18.9 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. -That's a lot of production to lose when he goes down with an injury. -In his career, Lee has averaged 14.8 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.
