Cureton Makes Debut for Clippers Tonight

Earl Cureton, a 6-foot 9-inch veteran forward-center who was acquired Wednesday night in a trade with the Chicago Bulls, will make his debut for the Clippers tonight when the team opens a two-game trip against the San Antonio Spurs at the Hemisfair Arena.

Cureton is expected to back up center Benoit Benjamin.

The Clippers are 0-3 this season against the Spurs. They will play in Dallas Saturday night and are 0-2 against the Mavericks this season.
