MIAMI - On Thursday, the 13 key players on the Clippers practiced together for the first time this season, and it left Jamal Crawford in awe. There was Chris Paul , practicing after missing nine consecutive games and 12 of 14 with a bruised right kneecap. There was Chauncey Billups (tendinitis left foot), playing after missing 34 consecutive games. Blake Griffin was back after missing the last two with a strained left hamstring. Crawford had returned after missing one with a sore right shoulder.

Blake Griffin is a serious competitor on the court, but as soon as he's done playing he often shows his lighter side, joking around with his teammates during their post-game interviews or playing with Chris Paul's young son, known as Little Chris. After the Clippers' 86-76 win over the Magic on Wednesday, Grayson Gregory of 810 CBS Sports Radio in Orlando apparently overheard Griffin impersonating former baseball broadcaster Harry Caray for teammate Lamar Odom. The reporter then asked Griffin to describe Ryan Hollins' 13-point, eight-rebound performance in his best Caray voice.

Blake Griffin (strained left hamstring), Chris Paul (bruised right kneecap) and Chauncey Billups (tendinitis in left foot) have been ruled out of Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Though the three starters are listed as day-to-day, Griffin, Paul and Billups are targeting Friday night's game at the Miami Heat as a possible comeback game. Coincidentally for Billups, it was exactly a year ago on this date, in a game against the Orlando Magic at Amway Center, that the 6-3 guard suffered a season-ending torn left Achilles' tendon.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Another Clipper has been taken out by an injury, leaving the team to report that Blake Griffin will be a game-time decision Wednesday for its game in Orlando because of his strained left hamstring. In theory, this should be another opportunity for a Clippers reserve to step into that void, but the team has become so depleted that a once-deep squad is not so deep anymore. Griffin pulled out because of the injury just before Monday night's game against the Washington Wizards.

WASHINGTON — A trip that already was already shaping up as a major challenge for the Clippers only got more difficult Monday night when Blake Griffin didn't play because of a strained left hamstring. And so as the Clippers continue to fall apart on the injury front, they also are falling apart on the court. They lost their third consecutive game Monday, 98-90 to the lowly Washington Wizards, a game in which sloppy ballhandling cost them a chance at victory. Griffin, who didn't talk after the game, saw the Clippers fall to 1-3 on their eight-game Grammy trip and lose for the seventh time in nine games.

WASHINGTON -- They have gone from Lob City to Yawn City, the flashiest point guard in the league joined in street clothes Monday by the power forward who turns his passes into aerial artistry. The Clippers' alley-oop attack isn't the only thing that has been grounded. A team that once won 17 consecutive games and held the best record in the NBA for parts of December is trending heavily in the wrong direction, hemorrhaging starters and a once-considerable cushion in the standings.

Blake Griffin was not in the Clippers' lineup against the Washington Wizards on Monday night because of a strained left hamstring. Griffin, who also has a sore left ankle that has been prone to swelling the last couple of weeks, went through warmups but returned to the locker room just before the game started. Griffin is listed as day to day. Griffin told the Clippers that he noticed the injury Sunday night, after the Clippers' loss to Boston, but didn't think it was an issue.
