Clippers' Avery Bradley (athletic pubalgia) not expected to play Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley is not expected to play Friday versus the Phoenix Suns.

What It Means:

Bradley was absent from Thursday's game and it sounds like this could be an issue for a while, if not for the rest o the year. Coach Doc Rivers said, "We are concerned. We've got to go through the right stuff and make sure he's in a good place with his health." Milos Teodosic, Austin Rivers and Tyrone Wallace should cover his minutes in the backcourt.

Through 46 games, Bradley is averaging 22 FanDuel points in 31.2 minutes per game this season.
