Team Is Taking on Water Fast

It is too bad owner Donald Sterling was not at Clipper practice Sunday because he would have experienced some of the problems his team has to go through.

The Clippers, who have lost 29 of their last 32 games, had to cut their workout an hour short because of weather problems inside their Carson practice site.

Rain came through the roof in the team’s training area and dressing room and also on the court, forcing interim Coach Jim Todd to end practice despite having more things to go over for tonight’s game against the Lakers.

“I would just say the gym flooded,” Todd said.

Center Keith Closs and point guard Troy Hudson did not practice. Closs received treatment on his injured lower back and Hudson is still suffering from stomach problems. Both are questionable for tonight’s game.
