Barnes will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Hawks, Anthony Slater of Bay Area News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes drew his first start as a Warrior on Sunday against the Knicks, but was limited to just three points, three rebounds, two assists and a pair of steals across 19 minutes. The Warriors will turn back to Patrick McCaw to start in place of the injured Kevin Durant (knee), which likely means he'll take on the bulk of the minutes at the position. Barnes could be switched in and out of the top unit depending on the opposing matchup, so this will be a situation to monitor for the duration of Durant's absence.
