Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis will be out at least three months after severely spraining his ankle during an offseason workout.
Ellis, who got a six-year contract extension worth $66 million from the Warriors this summer, sprained his ankle and tore a deltoid ligament while working out at his home in Jackson, Miss., Warriors spokesman Raymond Ridder said.
Ellis underwent surgery Wednesday to repair the ligament.
