While Milos Teodosic won’t make his return to courts tonight (9/12) against the Washington Wizards, Doc Rivers appeared optimistic that he might be able to count on him for his team’s next match, vs the Toronto Raptors on Monday.
“He looked great yesterday,” the L.A. Clippers head coach said in today’s pregame presser. “He had a really good practice session. And that’s the extent of it (laughs).”
“Soon,” Rivers replied when asked when Milos’ return is expected. “Maybe the next game or the first game in a row. I think it’s that close. I just don’t know in which one (game). He went through the entire practice yesterday. Yesterday and today morning we got him up early and had him working for 35 minutes again. We’re going to work him again tomorrow and if he can get through all that then there’s a chance he can play.”
The Serbian guard has been absent since October 23, when he suffered a plantar fascia injury on his left foot, during the first half of the Clippers’ game vs the Phoenix Suns in LA.
Milos’ return to Monday has been also “teased” by the fact that Clippers fans will have an opportunity to get a bobblehead version of him a Jedi before the game vs the Raptors.
