Injury Report:

Los Angeles Clippers

Quinton Ross (Sore left foot) and Elton Brand (Left Achilles) are questionable.
Tim Thomas (bilateral sore Achilles) is doubtful.
Paul Davis (Rehabbing right knee) and Shaun Livingston (Rehabbing left knee) are out.

Dallas Mavericks

Jerry Stackhouse (right groin strain) is day-to-day. Dirk Nowitzki (High Ankle Sprain & Knee Sprain) is out.

Clippers have the opportunity to play spoiler to the Dallas Mavericks' playoff hopes as they now find themselves in a 3-way tie for the 7 & 8 spots with the Denver Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors. It would only be fitting if the Clippers had a hand in knocking them out their current playoff spot, even if Golden State would once again be a beneficiary.

Elton Brand has recently been medically cleared to resume playing. He was supposed to be able to attend Sunday's practice and get some full court burn with the team but it was canceled. During Monday's Shootaround, he said that the team has pretty much locked in Thursday as his return date.

Clippers Spirit has advanced to the Western Conference Finals in the NBA.com Dance Team Bracket. They are up against the Rockets Power Dancers. The winner will faceoff against the winner of the Heat and Sixers dancers in the finals. You can begin voting today until Wednesday morning around 9am. Click Here to Vote Now!

It would be great to see the Clips to throw a wrench into the Mavs plans on keeping their playof hopes alive. Really twisted that the Mavs find themselves in this angle.

I love seeing that EB is questionable. I'm not a fan of the Mavs so let's do a little meddling to their seaon.

Just think of it this way. They didn't rest their players last season and let GS win to get the 8th and final spot. Time for some revenge! >:0!

I don't think the Mavs could of won that game if they haven't rested their starters either...

GL tonight.

Probably not. I was just joking anyways.

Good luck as well.

3:25 into the game and Clips find themselves down 10 and 0-6 from the field.

Posted: **Tue Apr 1, 2008 2:51 am**

Al with 2 back to back 3's and a 16 footer from the left wing. Mavs up 15-8.

Kaman rolled his ankle and has a noticeable limp. He's headed to the locker room. After pulling down a rebound he stepped on George's foot. He has been diagnosed with an ankle sprain and is done for the night.

29-24 Mavs after 1. Thornton scored our first 8 points and 10 total. Maggette & Kaman have 5 and Mobley has 4. Kidd has 14 for Dallas.

Kaman out for the game from that ankle injury..

Posted: **Tue Apr 1, 2008 3:18 am**

Aye Kaman....
Hopefully the x-rays are negative, I was really looking forward to see him playing alongside Elton for a few games

Posted: **Tue Apr 1, 2008 3:26 am**

12-0 run by Dallas.

I was also looking forward to him reaching 800 boards. Hopefully it's not too bad.

7:30 minutes into the 2nd quarter and we have scored all of 4 points.

Posted: **Tue Apr 1, 2008 3:51 am**

Dallas leads 52-40 at the half. X-Rays on Kaman are negative. I'm assuming an MRI tomorrow. We once again find ourselves short on big men. The Mavs had a 15-0 run after the Clippers had closed the gap to 3 @ 26-29. Thornton leads us in scoring with 12 but has picked up 3 fouls. Maggette who has 11 points is 1-6 from the field and Mobley is 0-4. Those 2 guys are going to have to step up in the 2nd half.

I didn't know that Kaman was out, what happened to him? I was looking at the updated box score.

We can't get any breaks with injuries can we?
