David Lee played 12 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Spurs, scoring nine points with five boards, two assists and one steal.

He wasn't anywhere close to 100 percent and deserves a ton of credit for playing through a complete tear in his right hip flexor. Lee led the NBA in double-doubles and figures to be back to full strength for next season. His offensive game makes him one of the best power forwards in fantasy hoops.

David Lee's (hip) playing time will be up to Mark Jackson moving forward.

Lee said that he felt "noticeably better today than I did two days ago" after Sunday's win, and it's not clear how much longer he can keep this going. After revealing that he's likely to undergo surgery when Golden State's season ends, Lee said he's "going to give what I have." He played 7:49 on Sunday, his most action since initially sustaining the injury in the first round.

David Lee confirmed that he will "more than likely" have surgery on his torn hip flexor after the season.

For now, Lee is content to play limited minutes in the playoffs and see how the injury reacts. He played eight minutes in Sunday's Game 4 victory and said he felt "stronger" than he did in Game 3, but we don't expect his role to expand much even if the Warriors advance to the next round.

David Lee (hip) played three minutes against the Spurs on Friday, scoring five points with two boards.

He still isn't 100 percent and he's not going to be for the rest of the playoffs. It's still strange to see Lee out on the court after being ruled out for the season with a complete tear of his hip flexor, so we're not expecting him to make too large of an impact.

David Lee (hip) is warming up to face the Spurs in Game 3 on Friday.

He played 87 seconds in the last game at Oracle in Game 6 against Denver, so the Mark Jackson might have a similar plan in place to provide a spark for the home crowd. Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes should get most of the minutes at the forward spots tonight.

Mark Jackson says he's not sure if David Lee (hip) will play during the Warriors' second-round series vs. the Spurs.

Lee stunningly played 87 seconds against the Nuggets in Game 6 of that series but didn't play a single minute in Game 1 on Monday. Jackson said he toyed with using Lee down the stretch but decided against it because Lee hadn't played all game. Lee will probably need surgery on his torn hip flexor in the offseason and whatever minutes he does play the rest of this year will likely be minimal.

David Lee (hip) could avoid offseason surgery to repair his torn hip flexor.

Lee will be active for Game 1, but it's not clear if he'll play. He said previously he'd have surgery, but he's since backtracked. "It's torn and will probably require surgery when the season's over, but I've gotten the green light to do what I can until that point," he said. It seems like surgery is still very much in play, but that hasn't been decided with certainty. If Lee suits up for any time during the second round series against the Spurs, he's not expected to play a big role whatsoever.
