Judging by the look Tuesday of Clippers center Chris Kaman’s balloon-sized, black and blue right ankle, his season in all likelihood is over.
Clippers athletic trainer Jasen Powell described it as a moderate ankle sprain and said that Kaman would be out indefinitely.
Quote:
“It’s sore and real tender right now,” Kaman said, following a Tuesday practice in which he was rendered merely a spectator. “It’s the worse ankle sprain I’ve had.”
Kaman did not accompany the team Tuesday afternoon, when the Clippers flew to Seattle for the start of a two-game road trip Wednesday against the Sonics and then Thursday against the Sacramento Kings.
“I’ll stay behind, get treatment, and then see how it feels,” Kaman said.
Clippers center Chris Kaman will probably sit out the team's remaining eight games after spraining his right ankle in Monday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
"Looks that way," Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy said. "His ankle is pretty big."
