Probably Tuesday. Nene and McGee have to report and take their physicals by Sunday. I am not sure if they are even with their new teams yet. It doesn't seem like Nene/Washington are in a rush given the lotto race.

Bad game but I'll take the win. We needed it. It meant 2 games in the standings agianst Houston. We would have been tied with them.

All Chauncey Billups had to do was show up and the mood in the locker room improved.

“It’s definitely bittersweet,” Billups said. “I would just like to be walking in and putting my jersey on, of course, going out there and fighting with the guys. Obviously, I can’t do that. But on the flip side, it’s just really good to see the guys and see them just as happy to see me.”

The five-time All-Star is done for the season because of a torn left Achilles tendon. He was at Staples Center on Saturday morning before the Los Angeles Clippers played the Houston Rockets.AdChoices



Billups was injured Feb. 6 during a 107-102 overtime victory at Orlando and had surgery eight days later. The Clippers were 15-7 when they learned Billups’ season was over. They have been playing close to .500 ball since, with losses in five of their last seven. During the 15-year veteran’s absence, Randy Foye has been starting at shooting guard.

“It’s been tough, and kind of a helpless feeling,” Billups said. “It’s been a struggle, watching the inconsistency night in and night out. We were really in a rhythm when I went down. Roles had been defined, and guys had embraced their roles. Then when I went down, things kind of changed a little bit.”

The Clippers claimed Billups in December after he was waived by the New York Knicks under the league’s new amnesty clause. He averaged 15.0 points in 20 games, and is still the team’s third-leading scorer.

“I’ve looked at some games, and we’ve been playing selfishly—both defensively and offensively,” Billups said. “We got away from what we were doing early in the season, and guys are trying to figure it out again. When we play against really good teams, we come out and play hard. But against teams we should really beat, sometimes we let our guard down and get away from our principles. And that lack of discipline hurts us.”
