The Clippers’ Ricky Davis has been suspended for five games for violating the NBA’s drug program, the league said Monday. No additional details were immediately available.
Though the suspension won’t affect the Clippers on the court — Davis has been out because of a sore left knee — it could cloud his future with the organization. Davis, 29, a 6-foot-7 swingman making $2.3 million this season, had been considered a disappointment before the knee injury sidelined him. In 13 games with the Clippers he has averaged 4.3 points.
As Dillman suggests, Davis was unlikely to see any action over the next five games. This matters only insofar as it might save the Clippers a few shekels, cost Davis a few more and, as Dillman states, possibly “cloud his future with the organization.” So to speak.

As if things couldn’t get any more interesting around these parts. One thing about our Clippers…always expect the worst to happen, it’s very sad, but very true.

Thank god someone wrote a play about the Rasheed Wallace / Damon Stoudamire traffic stop.

Since I don’t comment over at TrueHoop, may I just say here that Kevin’s note about the CP3 sheep/wolf drawing being the best art in Macrophenomenal is spot on. (Though the Tim Duncan art is a close second.)

Who cares about this. He’s gotta get over his injury. Yawn.

Baron Davis is a proven elite point guard. Everyone on this blog is blaming him for this horrible season. While at times he has been lethargic and made the wrong decisions, he’s still the same guy who took down the Mavs two years ago. It is clearly the coaches fault that a player of this caliber is being underutilized. Give Dunleavy the axe, bring in Sam Mitchell and play run and gun. Even if they lost the rest of their games it would be fun to watch and I would finally have to stop watching that bullshit Dunleavy calls an offense

Just one more thing to add to the list of things that are fatally wrong with this team. The Clips have screwed themselves for years to come.
