The LA Clippers have been relatively healthy throughout the entire season, but the team has been missing two pieces for the majority of it.
Mason Plumlee has been missing from the Clippers since November 6, when he suffered a left MCL sprain after Julius Randle collided with his knee. Clippers head coach Ty Lue gave a brief update on Plumlee, where he revealed that the center had a slow run on the court but still has some time before actually practicing 5-on-5.
Brandon Boston has also been out of action since game one of the preseason against the Utah Jazz on October 8 due to left quadriceps tendinopathy. Clippers head coach Ty Lue revealed that Brandon Boston will start his rehab assignment today as he plays in the Clippers' G League game against the Salt Lake City Stars. He's been playing 5-on-5 as well.
It's going to be interesting to see how the Clippers fit these two players into the rotation now. Mason Plumlee was clearly the backup center for the Clippers, but Daniel Theis has done a tremendous job since Plumlee's injury. Brandon Boston was also expected to get some solid minutes this season, but that was before the team traded became top-heavy with the James Harden trade. Not to mention that Bones Hyland still deserves minutes on the Clippers' roster as well.
The LA Clippers have an interesting situation on their hands, but it's a good situation to have.
