Warriors News: David Lee "Just Trying To Fit In" After Returning From Injury

David Lee returned to Golden State's lineup in Monday night's win over the Sacramento Kings after missing the previous 21 games due to injury. He registered six points and seven rebounds in 16 minutes, but he said he knows it's going to take time for him to readjust

"Felt like the game was going a thousand miles an hour in that first quarter," Lee said following the game. "That first stretch, I felt kind of out of sorts. But after that, it got more comfortable as the game went on. I was just happy to be able to go out there and contribute. And most importantly, we got a win."

Lee was replaced by Draymond Green in the starting lineup when he went out with the injury, and saw the team go on a 16-game win streak in his absence. Lee says he wants be careful not to mess up any of that chemistry.

"He (head coach Steve Kerr) just wants me to get used to it gradually here. I'll be playing a little bit more as each game goes on. But we want to bring myself back gradually. And most importantly, not take our team out of rhytym. I'm just trying to make other guys better and trying to fit in and make our team better in the end."

Golden State will face the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night before facing the Los Angeles Clippers on Christmas Day.
