The Clippers are resting many of their players tonight, including Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Danilo Gallinari, Austin Rivers, MilosTeodosic, Patrick Beverley and Sam Decker. Doc Rivers want to keep his guys from getting hurt and give his other injured players time to recover.
Lowe's 32 crazy predictions: Could Clippers trade DeAndre Jordan?
Do the Clippers really want to lock up $70 million per year in the Jordan-Blake Griffin duo? If they don't, and they end up underperforming, the Clips should investigate what Jordan might fetch.

Just for bookkeeping purposes, Re: Patrick Beverley sore RIGHT knee -> Beverley tore his right meniscus in March 2014. It was his left knee that was scoped in October 2016.
Lawrence Murray ESPN.com
Clippers list Danilo Gallinari as doubtful for Thursday's preseason game against the Sacramento Kings (left mid-foot sprain). Patrick Beverley (sore right knee), Austin Rivers (strained right glute), Sam Dekker (left oblique strain), and Sindarius Thornwell (sprained right shoulder) are all out. That leaves only 13 players available, including camp invites Tyrone Wallace, Marshall Plumlee, and C.J. Williams.
