The Los Angeles Clippers today waived forward Jelani McCoy.
McCoy appeared in six preseason games for the Clippers and averaged 3.5 points and 2.7 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game. The former UCLA star signed with the Clippers on Sept. 23, 2008.
The Clippers roster now stands at 14 players.

Injury Updates
Just got done speaking with Baron Davis, Tim Thomas and Marcus Camby and the latest is, all are trying to get back for the season opener against the Lakers on October 29, but no one is definitively ruling themselves in.
Of the three, it sounded as if Thomas was the closest to returning, followed by Davis and then Camby.
Camby said he's going to get a cortisone shot on his injured right heel Friday morning in the hopes it helps to control some of the pain and allows him to get a few practices in before opening night.
``I probably still need a couple more weeks of healing, but the time right now is not on my side with the season approaching in five or six days so I'm trying to do everything possible to get back out on the court,'' Camby said.
When I asked whether it was possible he'd sit out a couple more weeks, Camby said, ``No. I'm long overdue. I've been wanting to get out there on that court for some time now. I definitely want to get out there opening night.''
