Wow, I bet the Clippers are looking for a way out of that Brevin Knight deal now.

That really blows.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Clippers forward Elton Brand ruptured his left Achilles tendon on Friday during his daily workout.

Brand, 28, will undergo surgery but plans for the operation have not been finalized yet, the Clippers said.

Last month, Brand -- a veteran of eight NBA seasons -- withdrew from the U.S. national team because of an injury. He averaged 20.5 points and 9.3 rebounds last season, when the Clippers failed to make the playoffs.

It's absolutely terrible but boy does this set them up for an ultimate tank job season. Livingston isn't going to be healthy, Cassell is old, they have little depth. Just trade Magette and Mobley for pennies on the dollar and tell your fans you need ideas for the biggest draft party in NBA HISTORY.

That's like the worst injury in sports. I feel bad for him.

The clippers have kaman. Its up to him to establish himself, Cuz he is a capable scorer down low. They could still compete.

Damn man that is a terrible injury.

You know, that's why isiah must hold on to lee. If zach goes down we got lee. If lee goes down we got zach. God forbid we lose both the knicks can still function with Jared or whoever is left pending a trade.
