Out six to eight weeks.  Clippers always seem to have major injury problems.

This is good news for the Celtics who are owed the Clippers 2nd round pick in June and it is great news for Toronto who is owed the Clippers 1st round pick in June.

Tough loss for the Clips. In the past they have struggled to win without Paul

They play 11 of their next 16 games on the road which takes them to the end of February

They are going to fall in the standings. They are currently one game better in the loss column than The Celtics. That's because this is the best team that Doc Rivers has ever had.

dboss,

REALLY bad loss for the Clips. Not only do they lose a top PG, who will throw alley oops to Jordan now? He's completely useless on offense without that.
