"Warriors center Kwame Brown could be out for the rest of the season after tearing a muscle in his chest, the team announced Thursday.

Brown will have to undergo surgery after Wednesday's MRI revealed he tore the pectoralis major, the large chest muscle that attaches to his right shoulder. Brown -- who signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the Warriors just over a month ago -- sustained the injury in Tuesday's win over the Miami Heat. Surgery has not been scheduled, but it is expected in the next few days and will keep him out at least three months, according to the Warriors. That puts Brown's return into mid-April. Golden State's final regular season game is April 26."
