The Clppers might have received a little help Saturday from the NBA when it announced it has suspended Oklahoma City’s Kendrick Perkins for Sunday’s game against the visiting Clippers (33-18) because he initiated and made head-to-head contact with New Orleans’ Tyreke Evans during the first quarter of their game Friday won 116-113 by the Pelicans.
Perkins is the backup center for OKC (25-25). He averages just 4.0 points, but 5.6 rebounds.
