Rivers missed the Clippers last game due to the hand injury. Many fans in Orlando were looking forward to the Winter Park native as well as the return of J.J. Redick.
Rivers went to Twitter to provide some motivation for his comeback.
One step back…two steps forward. I’ll use this short time to get better and come back stronger. See y’all soon 👀

With Rivers and Blake Griffin out the Clippers will need to find a way to fill the void. Expect Lance Stephenson to receive more minutes over the next few weeks. When the Clippers acquired him this offseason Doc Rivers felt that Stephenson would be able to receive minutes at the point guard position.
