Los Angeles Clippers guard Sebastian Telfair suffered a right groin strain and torn right adductor longus tendon in the Clippers victory over Chicago on Jan. 20. The diagnosis was confirmed when Telfair was examined by a specialist, Dr. Craig Smith, in Los Angeles earlier today.Telfair is expected to miss a minimum of four to six weeks.
In 39 games played this season, Telfair has averaged 4.3 points and 2.9 assists in 14.3 minutes per game.
JamesOn Curry has some experience at the point, though is regarded as primarily a combo guard. Much the same can be said of Mardy Collins.

Why not Livingston? He knows Dunleavy’s schemes on both sides of the ball and looked pretty damn good with the Thunder the last time I saw him. He’s the best option right now.

Where’s the third of last years terrific rookies Mike Taylor and why did Genius Dunleavy drop him and where did he go?

Mike Taylor is playing in serbia right now. i was stunned when the news hit that he was waived, as was baron, DJ, and probably everybody else.
Livy hasn’t even been in the d-league since he was waived by OKC. Dunleavy probably wanted somebody that is in game shape, and curry already has some nba experience without the extensive injury history that shaun carries.
If shaun can’t even latch on a d-league team, then that tells something to us. But if he’s not in the d-league because he thinks he’s too good for that, then that tells something even more and worse about him.
Either way i’m not lobbying to bring him back on the team.

Waive MIKE SMITH and hire LIVINGSTON as LAWLER’s sidekick. Livvy has that classic touch and he can be a great asset to Clippers franchise.

So Craig Smith is examining his teammates now? I want a second opinion from a real doctor!

I didn’t know Craig Smith had a PhD. Talented guy.

is this fishy to you guys too? i know sebastion is not happy with the limited minutes he gets? 18mpg. He’s a stud when he plays… could be a little shady.

i smell no fishiness. yeah bassy isn’t happy with his minutes, but he can opt out after this season. so if he’s planning on opting out, then its not smart for him to fake injury and sit out longer than he needs to because it’ll effect his offers for next season.

Let’s hope he gets a chance to play. Our coach is famous for signing 10 day players & never playing them.

Good news for Clippers:
1. Phoenix is sliding. Now standing at 8th spot.
2. Sacramento lost 7 in a row.
3. Houston & Utah on the shaky grounds. Might lose their 6th & 7th spots to NOH & Memphis.
4. Clippers have maintained their equilibrium. Their ZIG-ZAG season is still not dead yet.
Optimists: Please wait 12 more days.
Pessimists: You don’t expect Clips to advance further.
Rest easy. Clips win 112-92 against WIZARDS on Sunday. JamesOn Curry makes news with his eye popping contributions against Wizards.
Celtics are nervous. They think Clips have their number. Yes, they do and beat them again.

GET WELL SEBASTIAN REAL SOON.

SEBASTIAN WOULD NOT FAKE HIS INJURY, U COULD SEE ON THE COURT HOW HE WAS PLAYING. THAT HE WAS HURT AND REAGGRAVATED HIS GROIN INJURY. HE IS A SOLID PG, PLAYING BEHIND BARON DAVIS.
