After being officially eliminated from post-season contention, the Atlanta Thrashers will be without three key players as they play out the string. BenJarvus Green-Ellis Jersey . The Atlanta Journal Constitutional is reporting that Nik Antropov, Pavel Kubina and Todd White will all miss the remainder of the season.  Kubina and White each have upper-body injuries while Antropov continues to battle a hip injury. "Hes played through an injury all year," Thrashers coach John Anderson told the Journal of Antropov.  "Hes going to be looked at by our doctors and see what his prognosis is for the summer.  Well find out more next week." Antropov enjoyed a stellar inaugural season in Atlanta, leading the Thrashers in virtually every statistical category.  In 76 games this season, the towering Kazakh has 24 goals and 43 assists. While the loss of Kubina will leave the Thrashers one defenceman short, the Journal is reporting that it will be Ivan Vishnevskiy who will get the recall from the AHL as opposed to veteran Chris Chelios.

After sitting out 50 games while recovering from surgery to repair a torn distal biceps tendon, Brodeur was back in the Devils lineup when the team hosted Colorado last Thursday and promptly posted a shutout.

Danny Woodhead Jersey . Gerardo Parra went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Diamondbacks (70-92), who finished the year last in the National League West.

The Warriors opened 0-6, but they are 41-19 since Jacksons return, including Wednesday nights 116-100 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers - the same team they beat for their first win of the season. "I wouldnt have dreamed that we could have the record that we have after the start we had," coach Don Nelson said. "Youve got to think in terms of, Wow, were going to really struggle at times this year. But we turned it around immediately as soon as we got him back." Jackson was suspended by the NBA following his guilty plea to a felony charge of criminal recklessness for firing a gun into the air outside an Indianapolis club. Hes more than made up for lost time, and is the teams second-leading scorer with a 20.7 average. Jackson led the Warriors with 29 points against the Clippers, and Monta Ellis added 12 of his 28 during a 4:36 span of the fourth quarter. Golden States ninth victory in 12 games, coupled with Denvers two-point loss at Philadelphia, increased the Warriors lead over Denver to 2 1/2 games in the race for the eighth and final Western Conference berth. The first nine teams in the conference are separated by 6 1/2 games. The Warriors have at least one game left against all of their playoff-contending adversaries in the West, except Utah, and they play Denver twice. "Weve been waiting for the tough part to come, and here it comes," Nelson said. "We have to play a lot better than weve been playing, or course, and were going to play all good teams now. Theyre going to be fundamentally sound in all areas, and theres no way to get by a bad performance when you play these good teams." Point Guard Baron Davis knows the Warriors are up against it. "This stretch is going to dictate our season, and its going to be very difficult," Davis said. "Weve got to hit our mark and really take care of business and prove that we belong." Rookie Al Thornton had 24 points and 13 rebounds for the Clippers, who have lost five straight and 13 of 15. Corey Maggette added 21 points and TTim Thomas scored 20 off the bench. Youth Victor Cruz Jersey. The Warriors are the only team the Clippers have had three 20-point scorers against in every meeting this season, but Golden State still leads the series 2-1. "Its definitely good to come out here and take care of business tonight because we have a tough schedule coming. Its going to make or break our season, and we dont want to let the season go to waste by not making the playoffs. I just dont want to have it come down to the last game of the season." The Clippers know exactly what Jackson means. They were eliminated from playoff contention on the final day of last season. And despite their 21-46 record, they could have a say on how things turn put this year. They have at least one game left against eight of the nine teams still in contention, with Phoenix the only exception. They have two more left with Houston and two more with Dallas. Mickael Pietrus had 12 rebounds and 15 points for the Warriors, who never trailed while snapping a seven-game road losing streak against the Clippers dating back to a 96-85 victory on March 21, 2004. They had dropped a combined 15 consecutive games at Staples Center against the Clippers and the Lakers. "Theyve got a good floor general in Baron, and theyve got other guys who can get it done as well," Thomas said. "We found a way to cut it to 11 in the fourth quarter, but good teams find a way to push back. And thats what they did." The Clippers got as close as 92-81 on a free throw by Thornton that capped an 11-0 run with 9:36 to play, but Golden State responded with a 20-8 spurt that increased the margin to 112-89 with 3:42 remaining. Smush Parker, who signed with the Clippers on March 12 after getting released by Miami, played his first game at Staples Center since leaving the Lakers at the end of last season and had eight assists and four points in 29 minutes. Notes: Parker is the seventh player coach Mike Dunleavy has used at the point guard spot because of Shaun Livingstons season-long rehab from knee surgery. .. The Clippers are 17-46 since their season-opening four-game winning streak, which included a 120-114 win over Golden State in their season-opener. .. Los Angeles was 1-for-14 from three-point range.
