TEMPE, Ariz. - More news surrounding the turbulent quarterback predicament of the Arizona Cardinals.Ryan Lindley is back as the starter, and Drew Stanton has been treated for an infection in his sprained right knee, a setback in his attempt to return for the playoffs.Coach Bruce Arians initially said rookie Logan Thomas would start in Sundays regular-season finale at San Francisco. But he said Friday he changed his mind based on Thomas performances in practice.I was hoping that he (Thomas) was going to be able to handle it, Arians said, but its not the time right now.Stanton, who has missed the last two games, experienced swelling in his knee on Wednesday. Arthroscopic surgery was performed Wednesday night to flush out the knee and treat it with antibiotics.Arians wouldnt talk about the infection, but said Stanton remains on schedule for next week.Hes at home and will stay there and rehab over the weekend and be ready to go next week, hopefully, Arians said.Thomas, a fourth-round draft pick from Virginia Tech, would have been Arizonas fourth starting quarterback of the season. Arians had said the rookie would have a very short hook, and that turned out to be true. He was removed from the starting job after one practice.The ball wasnt in spots it needed to be, Arians said. He was throwing it well, but not to the right guys. He just hasnt had enough reps to be able to go against this defence, which is one of the best five defences in the National Football League. It was probably a poor decision on my part to early announce it. ... Well do what we need to do to win the football game and thats to start Ryan.Arizona (11-4) still has an outside chance to win the NFC West, but St. Louis would have to beat the Seahawks in Seattle while the Cardinals win at San Francisco.Oddsmakers expect neither to occur. The Rams are 12 1/2-point underdogs in Seattle, the 49ers a 6 1/2-point pick over Arizona.The most likely outcome would have the Cardinals the No. 5 seed with a first-round playoff game at either Carolina or Atlanta.Lindley, signed off the San Diego practice squad after Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending knee injury, started last Sunday night at Seattle and was unimpressive. The third-year quarterback from San Diego State completing 18 of 44 passes for 216 yards in the Cardinals 35-6 loss.For the second straight game, Arizona didnt score a touchdown. Lindley has the dubious NFL record of most passes without a touchdown (225).Arians said the offences woes were not all Lindleys fault, citing dropped passes and penalties. Lindley, the coach said, did not go out and lose the ballgame.A running game would certainly help.After rushing for a combined 175 yards the previous two games, Kerwynn Williams gained 4 yards in two carries against Seattle. Arians said he expects the slashing running back to see more action against the 49ers.That was kind of rough, Williams said. But I expect us to be better this week and try to get back on track.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLCustom Washington Redskins Jerseys .

The decision made by coach Byron Scott, who had been hinting at it for days.Looking at our schedule coming up, I just thought it was a good time to give him a day of rest and let him prepare for the next game, Scott said.

So hes on board with it.The 36-year-old Bryant is averaging 35.5 minutes through the first 27 games and shooting just 37.2 per cent.I think this is something that has to happen periodically, Scott said. Youve got to remember — this is 19 years in this league. Thats an unbelievable career. I dont care how much his mind is willing. Youre not going to be able to play 82 games at the level that he is accustomed to playing. So sometimes, you have to give him days off as well as games off.Bryant, who passed Michael Jordan on the career points list Dec. 14 at Minnesota, missed 76 games last season because of a torn Achilles and a fractured left knee. Scott said Bryant would be evaluated before Thursdays nationally televised Christmas Day game at Chicago.Wayne Ellington made his first start for the Lakers in Bryants place and scored 12 points in 25 minutes, one of seven Lakers in double figures.It was a good team win.

Klay Thompson had 18 points on 6 for 15 shooting.Curry was 10 for 14 from the field aafter averaging 30.dddddddddddd points and 12.3 assists in his previous three games against the Lakers. Draymond Green made one of six shots in 24 minutes and finished with two points.The Lakers made only one field goal over the final 5:56, a clutch 3-pointer by Jeremy Lin with 35 seconds to play. The Warriors cut it to 113-105 on Justin Holidays 3-pointer with 29 seconds to go, before Ronnie Price helped put it away with a pair of free throws.They kicked our (butts). They were much better than we were, said Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. We werent ready to play. We started turning the ball over immediately. We never had any energy, which is going to happen occasionally in the NBA with 82 games.The Lakers were moving the ball just fine in the first half without Bryant orchestrating the offence. They had 19 assists and got 12 points each from Wesley Johnson and Ed Davis to take a 63-48 lead.We just decided to take it upon ourselves and play for one another without our leader, centre Jordan Hill said. We knew it was going to be a tough fight, but we came out and played hard, played together and moved the ball around.___TIP-INS:Warriors: For the first time this season, the Warriors trailed by double digits after the opening quarter.
