The Clippers on Sunday announced that reserve guard Austin Rivers has a fracture in his left hand sustained during the second quarter of this past Wednesday’s 108-102 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Staples Center.

Rivers’ injury happened on a successful drive to the basket, after which Rivers complained he had gotten fouled. Rivers received one and then two technical fouls and an ejection. Rivers missed Friday’s 107-93 victory at Orlando and Sunday’s 100-93 win at Miami.

Rivers underwent an MRI in Miami, and the fracture was revealed.

There is as yet no timetable being given by the team. He will has been sent back to Los Angeles, where he will be re-evaluated Monday.

Rivers is averaging 8.1 points for the Clippers (34-17).
