Livingston will be out for the next 6-8 weeks following foot surgery, as the veteran had arthroscopic surgery on his right foot big toe and will be out for the foreseeable future.

The Dubs don’t tip off their season until the end of October, meaning even if Livingston needs to maximum amount of time to heal, he’s going to be back before the start of the regular season. Golden State likely won’t throw him right back into the thick of things, but the surgery was completed at the right time, and Livingston is poised to start the season on time, if that’s what he feels like he can do.
