One goes out, one comes back.
Just as starting guard Milos Teodosic exits for the remainder of the NBA season after aggravating his plantar fascia injury, starting forward Danilo Gallinari is set to return to the lineup after recovering from a non-displaced fracture in his hand.
For all the Clipper injuries this season, and all the turmoil surrounding the mid-season trade of Blake Griffin, Gallinari may represent the greatest disappointment for Clippers fans. After his much-touted signing this summer, he’s appeared in only 19 of the team’s 75 games here in the first season of a three-year contract.
