John Wall Not Practicing
Wall did not practice on Friday due to soreness in his left knee and the knee issues seem to be bothering Wall for about a month now. Hopefully him not practicing on Friday is just cautionary, however the fact, that the Washington Wizards want an MRI on the knee suggests there may be a bigger issue.

DeAndre Jordan Trade Rumors
Since winning their first four games, the Clippers have lost 11 of their last 13 games. Sitting at 6-10 it is too early to quit on the season but several teams have been showing interest in him.
Tim Bontemps of the Washington Post wrote “DeAndre Jordan, who can become a free agent after the season, has been coming up in trade conversations, with multiple teams talking potential trades,”
If the Clippers think there is a chance Jordan leaves the team for free agency this summer then they could explore trading him. We shouldn't forget that back in 2015 Jordan almost joined the Dallas Mavericks as a free agent. He has shown the willingness to look elsewhere before so don't be surprised if he considers leaving the Clippers again.
