Before the Los Angeles Clippers took down the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night, Doc Rivers had some high praise for John Wall. He’s playing like an MVP candidate. Sort of. Per Candace Buckner of the Washington Post: [tweet https://twitter.com/CandaceDBuckner/status/847251451508269056] Rivers is correct. On both fronts.

A little more than a week after losing Chris Paul to left thumb surgery, the Los Angeles Clippers have gotten some good news. Blake Griffin is on his way back.
