Brand can't get enough practice time

The result is that although Brand has been cleared for at least two weeks to participate in full-court, full contact scrimmages, the schedule has not allowed that to happen. Lack of practice time, according to Brand, is the only obstacle holding him back from making his season debut.
"I'm trying to understand," Brand said. "We have games, travel, back-to-back games…it's just not conducive for practicing, especially full court."

The remaining schedule does not bode well for Brand getting in enough sufficient team practice to get into game shape. The Clippers have five sets of back-to-back games remaining and only twice do they have consecutive off days for extensive practice opportunities.
"I don't know the number but I'm going to try to get some games in,'' Brand said. "It would be a disappointment if I wasn't able to get any official games in. But as soon as the guys are ready, I'll be playing five-on-five, anyway, right after the season.''
