Clippers' Bradley could miss rest of year following surgery
Posted March 13, 2018 7:00 am
CHICAGO (AP) - The Los Angeles Clippers say guard Avery Bradley could miss the rest of the season after having surgery to repair muscles in his pubic area.
The Clippers expect the recovery time to be six to eight weeks, meaning they would need to make the playoffs for him to play again this season. They were seventh in the Western Conference entering Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
Acquired in late January from Detroit in the Blake Griffin trade, Bradley is averaging 14.3 points in 46 games. He missed seven games with the Pistons because of a right adductor strain and has not played since Feb. 14.
Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen sat out Tuesday's game because of back spasms.
