Sealy Sprain Not Serious

Guard Malik Sealy sprained his right ankle in the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s 98-96 loss at Minneapolis

Sealy, who had 15 points, five rebounds and three steals, sat out the final 2:18, but he doubts that the injury will cause him to miss Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls at the Sports Arena.

The Clippers got their first look at rookie guard Stephon Marbury, the fourth pick in the draft who left Georgia Tech after his freshman season, and came away impressed.

Marbury had 15 points, nine assists and three rebounds in 38 minutes. Clipper point guard Pooh Richardson had four points, three assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes.

“He’s a force,” Clipper Coach Bill Fitch said. “He adds another dimension to what they do. He energizes them. He’s really good, he’s a good little player.”
