Rivers broke his hand at the beginning of the month against the Minnesota Timberwolves and was expected to miss four to six weeks. He began shooting last week and looks to be ready to go.

With Rivers out the Clippers have had to rely on Chris Paul and Pablo Prigioni to handle almost all of the point guard duties. With Rivers on the way back it only means a matter of time before Blake Griffin will make his return to the lineup.
