What happened: Yaxel Lendeborg twisted his left ankle on a third-quarter drive. He stayed in to shoot the free throws after Golden State fouled to get him out, then went to the locker room without limping.

Why it matters: Golden State trailed 67-74 with play continuing in the preseason game. Preseason absences cut into rotation evaluation time.

By the numbers: Yaxel Lendeborg: 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists.

What to watch: The next detail to confirm is whether he returns tonight.
