    After posting career highs of 32 points and 16 rebounds in the Clippers' 115-103 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night, guard Quentin Richardson sat through the last half of Wednesday's practice after rolling his left ankle.

    The minor injury is not expected to keep him out of Friday night's game against the Golden State Warriors at Oakland, nor did it temper Coach Mike Dunleavy's belief that Richardson can be a consistent scoring threat for the Clippers.

    Through four games, Richardson is averaging 21.3 points and 8.5 rebounds, up from 9.4 and 4.8 last season, when injuries limited him to 59 games.

    "He's about as good a post-up [shooting] guard as you're going to find," Dunleavy said of the 6-foot-5, 238-pound fourth-year pro from DePaul. "There aren't a whole lot of guys like him in the league.

    "When I first came in [after being hired by the Clippers in July], I said right away to our people, 'Look, I can turn this guy, worst case, into Bonzi Wells. He can play inside and outside. He's a scorer.'</div>
