    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MEMPHIS, Tenn. ? Guard Cuttino Mobley is sidelined indefinitely after suffering a sprained right ankle in Thursday's 95-85 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.

    The injury occurred with 7 minutes 16 seconds remaining in the second quarter when Mobley missed a shot and landed awkwardly on the foot of Memphis guard Mike Miller. Mobley was removed at the 6:40 mark and did not return.

    "Mike Miller was beneath me when I came down, and I guess I stepped on his foot, but I'm not one to sit out," said Mobley, who had two points. "It's sore right now, but I've sprained my ankle a whole bunch of times."

    Team trainer Jasen Powell said Mobley would be reevaluated today.

    "We're going to do some range-of-motion stuff and try to control the swelling," Powell said. "He's had this type of injury before, so he knows what to do." </div>

    Well, I guess Maggette will start now. It could end up being a blessing, if that happens. Obviously he's the better player and should be getting the bulk of the minutes over Mobley.

    Cassell-Maggette-Ross-Brand-Kaman is a great starting 5.

    lol, I was just going to say the same thing. I guess Maggette will get his wish to start now.

    So: Cassell-Ross-CMag-Brand-Kaman, yup, it's not bad by any means, especially with VladRad and Livingston off the bench.

    If he doesn't come back before the playoffs, this could be really bad for the Clippers. They will have an even lower chance of winning.

    I don't think it's that serious. Maggette isn't really a SG, but I mean it's not like our lineup sucks now or something. If this happened before Vlad it would be worse, but with Vlad, we still have the 3PT shooting.

    Mobley has been unimpressive as of late, not having good shooting nights, but at least he fits into the Clippers' system and has been a solid role player.
