After a foot fracture sidelined him for nearly two months, LA Clippers guard Norman Powell came off the bench against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.
Powell was upgraded to questionable for the home game Wednesday afternoon. He was cleared to practice with the team on Tuesday.
His return is significant for the Clippers, who are preparing for the start of the Western Conference playoffs. The Clippers are 39-40 and locked securely in the eighth spot for the play-in tournament that is scheduled April 12-15.
With Powell back, the Clippers will be as healthy as they have been all season.
