Chris Paul is still aiming for a return on Sunday after missing 18 games with a shoulder separation. There was early conjecture that Paul might be ready on Friday.
J.J. Redick (hip) missed his second consecutive game, but figures to be back when the Clippers face Philadelphia.
Rivers said the Clippers will not have a shootaround Sunday because of the earlier tip-off, but instead will likely shoot on Saturday.
“We’re going to have something (resembling a practice),”Coach Doc Rivers said. “I don’t know if it will be called a practice, but we’re going to get together as a unit because it’s a 6:30 game on Sunday so that’s a hard day to have a shootaround. It’ll be more of a shootaround. For guys like Chris and J.J., we’ll do something so they can be active.”
