Tonight's the night: Flynn, Webster set for returns tonight at Golden State

First game back from surgery for both players

Sure looks like Jonny Flynn and Martell Webster both will be back for the first time this season tonight at Golden State.

Rambis said Flynn can play "unlimited" minutes, probably because he has those two D League games behind him and said Webster probably will be limited to about 20 minutes.

"Could be less, could be a little more," Rambis said.

Both, of course, will come off the bench.

"That sounds good," Webster said after shootaround when told Rambis said he'd play and would probably play about those 20 minutes. "I'll be ready. I'll definitely be ready. I'm definitely excited. From here on now, it's just getting better...Now it's time for me to play. I'm not going to look back from here."

Flynn's body was wrapped in ice after the shootaround, including a sizable bag on his rump that made him look like he could box out Kevin Love for a rebound.

All that ice makes him look like a guy who's just played four games in five nights, not a guy who is just making his comeback, doesn't it?

"This is just preventing anything from happening, that's what this is," Flynn said. "I'm happy to finally get back out there tonight. It's going to be fun. I think my body is well enough to play."

And one other thing:

Darko says that bruised thigh continues to bother him. It's not painful exactly now, he says he just doesn't have all the strength to push off the leg. He says he definitely will play more than 12, 13 minutes he played in Chicago. That limited time was due to the injury, early foul trouble and the blowout nature of the loss.
