At last, the injury-riddled Clippers added a player Wednesday as DeAndre Jordan returned from a left ankle injury to play against the Boston Celtics at Staples Center.
The 6-foot-11 center missed about two weeks recovering from the injury. Jordan is second in the NBA in rebounding, averaging 14.9 per game.
"Clearly he's one of the better defensive players in the league," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "He affects our offense more than people think as well because of his rolling, because of his ability to get behind the defense. So, you miss DJ when he's not on the floor, there's no doubt.
