    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PHILADELPHIA ? Shaun Livingston practiced with his Clipper teammates Saturday for the first time since suffering a dislocated right kneecap in November and said he hoped to return to the lineup before the end of the team's current trip.

    The first-year point guard participated in two-on-two and five-on-none drills during a workout at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

    "It went good, just getting out there," he said later. "I've got to get my wind up, but besides that I felt pretty comfortable. Hopefully, I can start stepping up to five-on-five here in a little bit."

    He said he would like to resume his season "hopefully in another week," possibly Feb. 13 at Toronto or Feb. 15 at Orlando, Fla. The eight-game trip, taking the Clippers into the All-Star break, ends Feb. 16 at Miami. They will have six days off before playing at Phoenix on Feb. 23.</div> Source

    It will be good to have him back, he was a good defensive presence at the PG position, and offensively he was slowly improving everyday. With experience, and just playing more games, he'll definately be a solid player on both ends of the floor.

    This kid was improving really fast, and he was better than I thought he would be coming into the league. I hope this injury didn't set him back a lot, and has no ill-effects during the course of his career.

    Will be interesting to see if he has lost anything when he comes back. From what i have seen, he was really improving and going to be a player, a real good player for years to come.

    I hope he comes back as strong as he was before the injury. It's sad to see such a young player with a very promising future to go down like that. He will really help the Clippers if he comes back. They need someone that can set up the offense and distribute the ball.

    I didn't really get to catch any games of his on television, in Canada we don't get much nationally televised games besides Raptor games. But I look at his game logs and his numbers were pretty good, he should be a strong PG after a few seasons. I hope he can come back strong and show us what he has.

    Livingston is playing today, and he's been doing good so far in the game.

    Shaun Livingston played today against the Raptors and I think he had a darn good game, finishing with 10 points and 9 assists. Livingston is a great player and if it wasnt for his injury I can almost gaurantee he would be at All-Star weekend.

    He is going to have a great future. 10 pts and 9 assists after coming back from a serious knee injury. The Only way is up for this kid.

    Livingston put on a show tonight.

    10-9-1 in 26 minutes, and only three turnovers. He shot 4-5 and 2-2 from the charity line, didn't give out any personals either. Good game, I hope he can continue to play like this night in and night out.

    The kid has got a big future ahead of him. I just hope the Clippers don't give him away and he becomes a star somewhere else, such as what they did with Brand, and Odom. I loved this kid coming out for the draft, and with his court vision and at 6'7", he is going to go to all-star weekend soon.

    Since when did Brand leave the Clippers?

    Looks like Livingstons been playing pretty well and getting minutes. Should be interesting to see how much he plays when Jaric gets back.
