Chris Douglas-Roberts Injury: Updates on Clippers Foward's Achilles and Return

Tim KeeneyNov 16, 2014

Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Douglas-Roberts has missed three of the last four games due to a strained Achilles, and it doesn't sound as though he'll be returning anytime soon.

Head coach Doc Rivers, via the team's official website, said Douglas-Roberts is expected to miss a week or two, while the 27-year-old updated his status via Twitter:

CDR hasn't made much of an impact this season, averaging just 2.0 points in 11.3 minutes per contest, although playing through an injury doesn't help those numbers. He brings some athleticism and quickness off the bench when healthy, and his absence serves as a slight blow to the team's depth at small forward.

For as long as Douglas-Roberts is sidelined, Matt Barnes and Jamal Crawford will see a slight uptick in minutes, while Reggie Bullock could also potentially play a bigger role off the bench.
