Clippers Chauncey Billups is out for the season
February 8th, 2012
Chauncey Billups Los Angeles Clippers
An MRI exam Tuesday revealed that Clippers guard Chauncey Billups has a torn left Achilles’ tendon. Billups, who was injured in Monday’s overtime victory over the Magic in Orlando, Fla., will be out at least eight months, ending his season.
Billups, 35, was a key figure in the Clippers’ rise to second place in the NBA’s Western Conference this season. He teamed with point guard Chris Paul to form an extremely talented backcourt for the Clippers, who are enjoying one of their most successful starts in franchise history.
Billups fell to the court midway through the fourth quarter of Monday’s game against the Orlando Magic and had to be helped from the arena. He was unable to put weight on his left leg.
Clippers Tickets can be purchased for all road games as well as home games. Thunder Vs Clippers Tickets at the Chesapeak Energy Arena March 21st, and April 11th are onsale now.
I know that everyone is saying the Clippers Curse is here, but its now. Clippers have a strong deap team and will continue to play well. If not more focused.
The loss of Billups is undoubtedly unfortunate for the team. However, this loss should not discourage the Clippers; in fact I think the Clippers will show their true colors as a team and be able to work through this situation and continue to grow and develop as a team. The great chemistry on and off the court has really showed just how much potential the Clippers have this year.
