LA Clippers’ Media Day provides much-needed injury updates
By Noah Shatzer
Austin Rivers
Rivers was apparently dealing with an undisclosed illness over the summer that caused him to be sidelined for five weeks. While the exact illness wasn’t disclosed, the fact that whatever Rivers had been dealing with kept him sidelined for five weeks suggests that it was serious. At the Clippers’ media day, Rivers told the media that he was feeling well rested and 100 percent going into LA’s training camp.
