Newly Appointed 6th Man, Thornton Goes Down Painfully


Al Thornton of the Clippers has suffered an ankle injury during his last game against Sacramento Kings. Thornton was showing his energy coming off the bench and it was almost as soon as he really started to get it going on offence the injury happened.

“It looked bad” said Clippers guard Eric Gordon. And the crowd thought so as well as they went silent for a second as Thornton fell hard. Unfortunately for Clippers fans Thornton has named to miss at least a few games and the only thing that will determine when he can return is how fast he recovers.

Perhaps the only good news, is the Clippers will be seeing more of role players Jawad Williams and Dorell Wright. Williams will see earlier minutes in Clippers next game against Bobcats because of his solid play in limited minutes. But it seems most likely that whoever plays better out of Wright, Williams or Butler will see the most court time.
