During the opening stages of this NBA season, two of the more depressing stories deal with the health of the Los Angeles Clippers. From the start of the year, they've faced a cornucopia of injuries that started with sensational international guard Milos Teodosic going down with a left foot injury in mid-October.
Since then, they've lost defensive stalwart Patrick Beverley to a season-ending knee injury while Blake Griffin could be out until February with a sprained MCL. That kind of bad luck have pushed the Clippers to the point where they started two-way players Jamil Wilson and CJ Williams in a late November game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
