Depends what severity it is. I think in Europe they use the word ‘tear’ a bit more loosely (because technically a strain is a form of tear). So we shall see.

Bogdan Bogdanović is leaving the Serbian National Team at EuroBasket after being diagnosed with a ruptured hamstring muscle.

In agreement with the LA Clippers, Serbia’s captain will return to Los Angeles to begin his rehab process.

The NBA season tips off for the Clippers on October 22nd vs. Utah.

Exclusive with Hall-of-Famer Ralph Sampson:

“I’d put up 30 and 20. Easy. I would probably dominate the game more than I dominated the game in the past... They say I'm Wemby the first, he's Wemby the second. But I'm Ralph the first, he's Ralph the second."

Exclusive: Kris Dunn's All-Defensive Debacle The Latest Proof Of NBA's Botched CBA The LA Clippers would not be where they are without Kris Dunn. But the guard, who started 58 games, is somehow not eligible for NBA awards.

Kris Dunn played 74 games this season, including 58 starts. He's been one of the NBA's best defenders and a big part of the Clippers' success.

Sorry folks, I keep forgetting to post updates on here. Trying to be better about it

Tyronn Lue on Nicolas Batum:

“We didn't practice today. We'll evaluated Nico better tomorrow. Today we just watched film, walked through some sets, we didn't do anything live.”

“Any concern that his injury will bleed into playoffs?”

“I don't know.”

Asked James Harden about the Clippers having good isolation players:

“It's needed. We went over Denver. Denver knows us, we know them. After Game 2 or 3, the plays don't matter no more. It's about 1-on-1, go get a bucket, who is guarding who. For us, we've got a handful of guys who can do that.”
