The Golden State Warriors say star guard Monta Ellis has a sprained left knee and could miss Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Ellis injured the knee late in the fourth quarter of Monday night's home loss to Dallas. The team says an MRI on Tuesday determined that the injury is mild.

Ellis will be reevaluated Wednesday and his status for the game will be determined then. The game against the Clippers is the last for Golden State before the All-Star break.

Ellis is sixth in the NBA in scoring at 26.2 points per game. The Warriors have lost nine straight games and have the third-worst record in the league.
