Andris Biedrins was scoreless with seven rebounds and one block in a fill-in start for Golden State on Saturday. Festus Ezeli is day-to-day with a bruised knee, but Biedrins was coming off four consecutive DNP-CDs, and he obviously isn't a fantasy option regardless. In addition to his other stats, Andris racked up four personal fouls in just 14 minutes.

Andris Biedrins (groin) is expected to play on Saturday. Biedrins had reportedly fallen out of favor with Mark Jackson, but the Warriors will need the extra bodies with Andrew Bogut expected to sit out. Biedrins' woeful shooting from the line is not a fantasy option in standard leagues and this news also puts a dent in Festus Ezeli's prospects.

Andris Biedrins (groin) returned to practice on Monday. Biedrins is an afterthought for the Warriors and should not be rostered in any fantasy league.

Mark Jackson didn't mince words about his disappointment with Andris Biedrins (groin) this preseason. "If you're the only guy not here [for voluntary workouts] and then you get hurt, it's unfortunate," Jackson said. "He's just rehabbing and we're going to keep it moving. We really don't have time to wait for anybody." Festus Ezeli impressed the Warriors throughout training camp and has an iron grip on the backup center position, and he'll start as long as Andrew Bogut (ankle) is sidelined.

Andris Biedrins is listed on the Warriors' injury report with a sore right groin. After a dreadful performance on Sunday, this is more bad news for Biedrins. Ignore him in fantasy until he proves he still belongs in the NBA.

Andris Biedrins did not play well in Sunday's exhibition loss to the Lakers, racking up four fouls and zero rebounds in 11 minutes. This is just more of the same from Biedrins, and while the Warriors quietly hope he gets his head together this season, don't count on it happening. Find another center to take late in your draft.

Andris Biedrins and Festus Ezeli are competing for the backup center spot behind Andrew Bogut. Early indications out of training camp had the rookie ahead of the inept Biedrins, but Mark Jackson said that "both of those guys are very good" and added he'd have "no problem" starting either one if Bogut (ankle) isn't ready on opening night. The coach referred to Ezeli as someone who is "still learning," but previously expressed his displeasure with Biedrins. No matter how you slice it, the W's are in trouble if Bogut has another injury-plagued season.

Mark Jackson voiced his displeasure with Andris Biedrins not being in for voluntary workouts. "At the end of the day, it was a long year last year -- it was a tough year for a lot of players," Jackson said. "But I've got everybody in here, other than Andris Biedrins." Biedrins is set to open the season behind rookie Festus Ezeli on the depth chart, an indication of Biedrins' standing with the team. He averaged 1.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks last season while shooting 11.1 percent from the foul line.

Andris Biedrins was fined the equivalent of $3,730 by the Latvian government's "finance police," for failing to pay tax on a boat he purchased in the U.S. and brought back to his home country. The only thing mildly interesting here is that the Latvian's tax collecting unit is called the "finance police." Originally arrested and looking at up to five years in jail, what Biedrins should have been arrested for is his free throw shooting motion.

Andris Biedrins is being investigated and charged for tax evasion in his home country of Latvia. The case appears to center around a bogus company that was started as a work-around to avoid paying taxes on a Malibu Wakesetter boat, and could last three years. Biedrins is being charged with two other people for evading taxes on 11,500 lats, or $20,000 and if found guilty, he could receive of jail sentence of up to five years. Biedrins has struggled badly for a few years now on the court, suffering from concussion issues last year, as well as not being able to hit a free throw to save his life. It remains to be seen what impact the court case has on his NBA career, but we wouldn't recommend drafting him this year, either way.
