West (thumb) provided four points (2-4 FG), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 11 minutes in Thursday's 123-113 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
West gave the Warriors some quality minutes off the bench in his return from a 14-game absence due to the fractured thumb, but while the starting five remains at full strength, the veteran big man is no threat to pick up much additional run in future contests. He's averaging a meager 4.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 11.5 minutes per game on the season.

West (thumb) will play during Thursday's game against the Clippers, Ethan Strauss of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
West has missed the past 14 games due to a broken thumb, but will play Thursday. He'll likely assume his average of 11.5 minutes per game moving forward, and his return will probably reduce the workloads of both Kevon Looney and James McAdoo.

West (thumb) is considered questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of the San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
West missed the Warriors last 14 games prior to the All-Star break but has been practicing. Though he's officially considered questionable, there's a good chance he plays Thursday, Monty Poole of CSN Bay Area reports. When healthy, West was seeing just 11.5 minutes per game. His return shouldn't impact the minutes distribution greatly, though it could result in a slight reduction in play time for Kevon Looney and James McAdoo.

West (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
West has been sidelined since Jan. 18 with a non-displaced left thumb fracture and since he hasn't fully healed, the Warriors will keep him out until after the All-Star break. If West is able to return to practice when the Warriors reconvene next week, he could be ready to play Feb. 23 against the Clippers, but the forward isn't worth tracking for fantasy purposes outside of the deepest of leagues. He's averaging only 4.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 11.5 minutes per game on the season.

West (thumb) has been ruled out of Monday's tilt with the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
West will miss his 13th straight game as he continues to recover from a fractured thumb. It seems increasingly likely that the Warriors will rest the veteran through the All-Star break, although they have not made any official announcements of the sort. Look for James McAdoo to see increased minutes in his absence.

West (thumb) will not play Saturday against the Thunder, Anthony Slater of Bay Area News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran will miss a 12th straight game as he continues to work back from a fractured thumb on his left hand. The Warriors have no reason to rush West back, and at this point it seems likely that he'll remain out through the All-Star break.

West (thumb) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
West's 11th straight absence was fully expected, as coach Steve Kerr indicated a few days ago that the veteran big man wasn't expected back during the three-game road trip that begins Friday. After the road trip ends, the Warriors will play a home game against the Kings on Feb. 15 before heading into the All-Star break, so it seems likely West will just be held out until the second half begins. Kevon Looney and James McAdoo should benefit from mild bumps in minutes for as long as West is out.

West (thumb) is not expected to return to action during Golden State's upcoming three-game road, kicking off Friday in Memphis, Jimmy Durkin of the San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
On that schedule, West won't return to the lineup until Feb. 15 against Sacramento at the earliest. Given that game against the Kings is the final one before the All-Star break, the Warriors will be tempted to let West sit through the break. The 36-year-old power forward has missed 10 games with a non-displaced fracture in his left thumb.

West (thumb) will not be available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
West has been out since mid-January with a non-displaced fracture in his left thumb. On the bright side, the veteran forward does look close to returning to action, as he was able to log a full practice Monday. Until West can suit up, however, expect Kevon Looney and James McAdoo to see continue seeing expanded roles in the Warriors' frontcourt.

West (thumb) is considered doubtful to play Wednesday against the Bulls, Anthony Slater of the Bay Area News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran went through a full practice Monday, but coach Steve Kerr said West is still dealing with some pain in his fractured left thumb. As such, he'll likely be held out for a 10th straight game, as the first-place Warriors have no reason to rush him back before he's 100 percent healthy.
