Crawford’s status for big Grizzlies-Clippers game tonight…

He’s in. Crawford has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, but he’ll play tonight against the Grizzlies in a big pre-playoffs matchup. Winner will be in that coveted third spot in the Western Conference standings again. The teams, who don’t like each other much and always play a physical game, have been seesawing back-and-forth over the last week in the conference standings. Memphis, somehow, has flourished since it traded Rudy Gay. The Grizzlies have won 13 of their last 14, but remember the Clippers knocked them out of the playoffs in the first round last year.
