Clippers to sign Courtney Fortson 

Post#1 » by mkwest » Mon Jan 16, 2012 12:45 am

Congrats to @coatf4 for getting that call up to the LA Clippers, now show you them belong and @TreyThompkins take care of my lil homie....

Scooter Johnson


Finally in LA

Courtney Fortson


Clips say MRI negative on CP3's left hamstring but sources say they have Courtney Fortson lined up for callup from D-League's LA D-Fenders

Marc Stein


The Clippers are expected to sign guard Courtney Fortson to a contract Monday, pending his passing a physical.

Fortson is a 5-11 point guard who was on the Clippers’ training camp roster before he was waived last month.

Brad Turner, LA Times


Paul should not be out for long and is listed as Day-to-Day with the hamstring strain. Fortson played for the team during the preseason, so there's some familiarity with the rest of the team. He's 5'11 though. In 17 games with the D-Fenders, Fortson is averaging 15.9 ppg (49.4% FG, 42.2% 3PT), 4.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists.

is this a 10 Day Contract? Though Fortson was entertaining in Camp, I don't see him as an NBA player,yet.
I don't like this move if both Mo & CP3 are Day to Day, this is telling me that both injuries are more severe.
What is really going on that Fortson is signed to any contract?

If we're signing Courtney Fortson my guess is that Mo and Paul may not be available tomorrow. I didn't expect Paul to play but I'm hoping Mo does.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Is Fortson's contract for the rest of the year? Not sure about this roster move, I would like to keep it for later in the season.
