In an NBA game, you may have 12 players active for a regular season game, the Golden State Warriors they could have that once again.

You can add Monta Ellis’ name to the list of injured players on the 2009-2010 Warriors team that includes Anthony Randolph, Anthony Morrow, C.J. Watson, Vladimir Radmanovic and Brandon Wright.

Ellis sprained his right ankle early in the third quarter, and did not return to the game after walking off the court alongside trainer Tom Abdenour.

Stephen Curry scored a career-high 32 points, as the Warriors defeated the New Jersey Nets 111-79 at Oracle Arena.

Corey Maggette added 29, Anthony Tolliver added 12 in a start, as the Warriors ended their seven-game homestand with a 3-4 record.

Cartier Martin chipped in with 16 points off the Warriors, as the team heads off to the desert to face the Phoenix Suns at USAIRWAYS Center on Saturday night.

Former Stanford star Brook Lopez made his only Bay Area appearance of the season, and did not disappoint, as he scored 21 points.

Courtney Lee was the only other Nets player to top the double figure plateau, as he scored 17 points for the woeful Nets, who drop to 3-38 on the season.
