There was no Clippers trade news to report as of mid-afternoon Wednesday, though rumors of them attempting to acquire power forward Channing Frye from Orlando were still swirling.

Interestingly, one Clippers player allegedly involved in those talks – Lance Stephenson – was said to have a sore hip Wednesday and was to be held out of practice. It could also be that Stephenson is about to be part of that deal and often times when a team knows it’s about to unload a player, it will keep said player on the sideline so he doesn’t sustain an injury before an accord is reached.
