Faried has missed six consecutive games because of back spasms and there doesn’t
appear to be a targeted return date. He can safely be ruled out for Friday’s
matchup with the Celtics and could very well end up missing Saturday’s tilt with
the Kings as well. With Faried on the sidelines, Wilson Chandler should continue
to start at power forward after combining for an impressive 57 points and 16
rebounds over the last two games.
