It may not be long before the Clippers see Milos Teodosic back in action, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times writes. The rookie point guard has been sidelined with a plantar fascia injury since the second game of the season but is nearing his return.
There’s no set date for Teodosic at this point but he practiced without limitation on Friday. The 30-year-old international free agent practiced previously with both the big league club and its G League affiliate earlier this week.
“He’s ready. He’s close,” head coach Doc Rivers said. “Milos will be playing in a couple of games, for sure. I just don’t want to say what game because I don’t know.”
There’s more from the Pacific Division:
- There have been no shortage of proven winners for Lakers coach Luke Walton to take lessons from over the course of his NBA journey. Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN explores his path to where he is now.
- The Kings have given JaKarr Sampson a chance to show what he’s capable of providing and the versatile 24-year-old hasn’t disappointed. “He has a body that we need – an athletic, 6-foot-8 guy who can play a couple of positions,” head coach Dave Joerger told Alex Kramers of the team’s official website. “It’s a little easier for him to stand in front of some versatile dudes, some drivers and some physical guys … He was ready for the moment and I think we’ll be seeing more of him.“
- There’s growing speculation that Nerlens Noel could end up in Los Angeles, Bryan Kalbrosky of HoopsHype writes. The big man shares an agent with LeBron James who has been linked to the Lakers over the course of the past year.
LeBron just bought another house in Los Angeles. Maybe LaVar and the Ball family could move in with him and LeBron could train LiAngelo and LaMelo!
Do you remember LaVar and LeBron going at it with LeBron telling LaVar to leave LeBron jr. out of this. Can you imagine them going at it on a nightly basis. Doesn’t look right now like Lonzo will be threatening any of Magics records.
I know LaVar played European football way back when. No American high school player has been given a chance to play in Europe or China, and I don’t see anything changing with LaVar’s sons if they get a chance at all. They’ll be at Lakers games next season watching Lonzo1
European phenom Luka Donkik is 19 and is the exception, not the rule! LiAngelo and LaMelo ain’t no Luka Donkik!!! American high school players who have tried in Europe and China have ended up injured, on the end of the bench, or averaging a handful of points. Jeremy Tyler, Emanual Mudiay, the well traveled point guard who played for Bucks, Pistons, and Washington, etc.
Like usual, mispelled. That’s Luka Doncic I think. He may be this years top pick!
Is there a reason you keep responding to yourself
Mudiay is only current player in NBA to go from high school to overseas to NBA and LaVar says he’ll have all 3 sons playing for Lakers. Are they taking bets in Vegas?
Terrance Ferguson did it last year
Bottom line is LiAngelo and LaMelo “won’t play” for the Lakers and I don’t see LeBron going to L.A. because of their lunatic dad!
Brandon Jennings did it 2
Brandon Jennings is the one who played for Pistons, Bucks, Wizards, and Knicks. He is no longer in league.
The problems with LaVar are well documented everywhere. Depriving your kids of an education isn’t right. Intending to send them to Europe shows he has no intention of educating them. He knows they won’t play for the Lakers or likely anyone else. LaVar is all about publicity and it’s negative publicity. Charging $500 for those shoes could be considered a scam. They aren’t the quality of other shoes or people would be wearing them. Saying it’s ok for your kid to steal in a foreign country is the worst thing he’s done, let along trying to start a conflict in public with the President of the United States.
