Davis exited early in the second quarter and did not return in the Clippers' 113-103 overtime loss at Staples Center. He is not expected to travel to Utah for tonight's game.

I know we don't normally ever win in Utah, but they don't have their PG either, so, thankfully we're in luck again like how Melo was out with the Nuggets (although that didn't necessarily meant an easy win...). We can pull one if Kaman screws his head together. If not, might as well start Paul Davis.

Jason Hart is horrible, he has a -25 yesterday with him at the floor.
He was the first reason we sucked in our first 2 months last season.

Another injury for Clippers' Baron Davis
His sore left hip takes him out of the lineup, and he's still nursing his sprained left ring finger.

Reporting from Salt Lake City — Now for the obligatory injury update.
Clippers point guard Baron Davis remained home in Los Angeles, having suffered another injury. This time, it was a sore left hip taking him out of the lineup, and he hasn't even come close to recovering from his sprained left ring finger.
It appears as though Davis will also miss Monday's game against the Jazz at Staples Center.
The next game for the Clippers after that: the Lakers on Wednesday.
"It's probably going to be three or four days and we'll kind of re-evaluate," Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy said. "I guess tomorrow we'll know a little bit more about where he's at."
Davis suffered the injury early in the second quarter and did not return in the Clippers' overtime loss to the Nuggets on Friday night.
"He took a hard hit," Dunleavy said. "We'll have to wait and see. I don't think there's anything structurally wrong. So that's the good news. Obviously comes at a bad time for us."
Understatement, thy name is Clippers.
"Without him, right now we struggle to get the easy baskets," Dunleavy said. "He has that ability to attack the rim and create great looks and easy buckets for his teammates. Besides that, he's one of the top steals guys in the league. There's so many different ways he can impact a game. It makes it tough."
Walking wounded II
Marcus Camby put down his new musical offering of Young Jeezy in the dressing room before the game, and patiently answered the same old questions about his heel.
If he's getting tired of talking about it, well, Camby does a good job of hiding it.
"If things keep progressing, I'll have a chance to get out there on Monday," he said. "I feel like it [the pain] is tolerable."

Marcus Camby (bruised heel) will be listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz, while Baron Davis is doubtful. Davis (bruised hip) did not travel with the team to Utah and did not practice on Sunday, but did rehab work on the side and is said to be improving daily.
If I were guessing, I'd say both are in the lineup Wednesday versus the Lakers. Camby has a chance of playing Monday, but don't expect much since he's been out for so long.
