We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Clippers.
Rant Sports discusses the Clippers’ Spencer Hawes situation:
“Injuries in sports are inevitable. When a team leader goes down, it truly affects the team’s performance and morale. When a bench player goes down, it can truly impact the way the player is viewed by the organization and the team’s fanbase.
Los Angeles Clippers backup center and power forward Spencer Hawessuffered a knee injury on Dec. 12. He has missed the last six games and there is no timetable for his return. The speculation is that he will be back in action on Saturday, Dec. 27 against the Toronto Raptors but no official announcement has been made.
Hawes has been a large piece for the Clippers so far this season but the team is proving that they can win without him. DeAndre Jordan has improved his game so much so that he is putting up career highs in field goal percentage and his dreaded free throw shooting. Glen Davis has improved his game from the start of the season. He is helping the Clippers to improve their defense game after game. With other big men on the team stepping up in the place of Hawes, it is looking more like the Clippers do not need him as much as they did early on in the season.”
