Davis has another injury

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.”

Sloan sits one out

The Jazz was without Coach Jerry Sloan, who stayed home because of flu-like symptoms. Assistant Coach Phil Johnson assumed head coaching duties against the Clippers.

Johnson must have done something right.

The Jazz committed a mere five turnovers against the Clippers, a franchise record. Utah’s previous record for fewest turnovers in a game was six, which had occurred numerous times.

Presumably, Sloan was at home, smiling . . . if he wasn’t too sick.
