OAKLAND — When Matt Barnes was injured two weeks ago, it looked like nothing more than a minor ankle sprain, something Barnes (and basically any basketball player) has done plenty in his career.
But 14 days later — after missing the final two regular season games and the first two games of the playoffs — Barnes is still trying to fight his way back from what he says is a far more painful bone bruise on his foot and is hopeful that his return will come in Game 3.
“A bone bruise on the top of my foot,” Barnes said.
