    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Chris Wilcox sat out the Clippers' 106-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, sound physically and willing mentally but never called off the bench by Coach Mike Dunleavy.

    Sidelined most of last month because of a stress reaction in his lower right leg, Wilcox has not played in five of the six games since he was activated from the injured list more than two weeks ago, playing four minutes in the other.

    Most of the minutes at center and power forward have been split during that time among Elton Brand, Chris Kaman and Zeljko Rebraca.

    "I've talked to him about it," Dunleavy said. "He's coming back from a long injury, and we're playing very well as a team. We've got three guys in Brand, Z and Kaman playing in front of you, playing pretty good. It's not fair for me to break up their minutes and their rhythm to put you in there."</div> Source

    I'm expecting another DNP-CD against the Celtics, Kaman is just a much better fit on the team than Wilcox, and compliments Brand much better. He should get back in soon, but we'll see how it all goes.
