<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Swingman Corey Maggette is expected to return to the lineup Friday against the Utah Jazz at Salt Lake City. The seven-year veteran, sidelined the last 38 games while recovering from a left foot injury, received medical clearance to participate in practice Tuesday and appeared to fare well in half- and full-court scrimmages at the Spectrum Health Club in El Segundo, Coach Mike Dunleavy said. The fastbreak hasn't been as effective with Maggette sidelined, but the Clippers said help is around the corner. "He looked pretty good in everything we were doing," Dunleavy said. "We're going to have to wait to talk to the doctors today, and see how he's feeling to gauge it, but there is a chance for us to have him against Utah." Maggette, averaging 21.7 points in 13 games, sat out the first four games because of a hamstring injury, and then suffered a separated ligament in his left foot Dec. 5 against the Miami Heat. He said last week he might return tonight against the New Orleans Hornets, "but that's probably not going to happen," Dunleavy said. Friday would be fine with Maggette's teammates. "No doubt," power forward Elton Brand said. "We've been looking forward to Corey coming back for a long time now, we really need him, so whatever day would be great, just as long as it's soon." Said point guard Sam Cassell: "Corey Maggette is such a big part of this team … we need Corey Maggette."</div> Maggette will play Friday
Good to see Magette healthy again, and to think he could've been in a Pacers uni. Just the thought of trading him probably spooked him a lil bit.
