In this Jan. 26, 2014, photo, Golden State Warriors&#39; David Lee (10) shoots over Portland Trail Blazers&#39; Robin Lopez during an NBA basketball game in Oakland, Calif. Lee says he has damage in the nerve that connects from his back to his right hamstring but hopes to be back for the playoffs--if not sooner. Lee participated in some of Wednesday&#39;s light practice on April 9, 2014, working up a sweat on his gray shirt before shooting free throws during the portion open to reporters. He has missed six straight games and is expected to sit out again Thursday night against Denver. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez)
