J.J. Redick is a vital player for the Los Angeles Clippers due to his perfect fit with the offense, stellar accuracy, and underrated defensive ability. This season has been a little rough for him so far, though, after he missed three games due to back problems and suffered a sprained right ankle after playing a mere 18 seconds in Wednesday night’s loss to the Indiana Pacers.
As he rose for a jump shot past point guard George Hill, he fell awkwardly on his ankle and didn’t re-enter the game after Doc Rivers tried to bring him back at half time.
