LA Clippers: Injuries put spotlight on depth… and Doc Rivers

When the Clippers acquired Danilo Gallinari this past offseason, the hope was that they had finally landed the effective small forward they had been lacking during the Doc Rivers era. Unfortunately, his shooting to begin the season has left much to be desired; shooting only 26% from deep and posting an effective shooting percentage of 41.6%. Both of those numbers have taken a dip from his career averages of 36.7% from three and 50.1efg% (via Basketball Reference).

After Sunday’s loss to the Miami Heat it was revealed that he might have been playing through a hip injury since the start of the season, which would explain the dip in productivity.
