Over the last few days, the LA Clippers had managed to get a slot in the NBA headlines. The team pulled off a 4-game winning streak, including a dominant win against the mighty Cavaliers. Apart from the positivity, the Clips also endured a concerning bench situation. You must be wondering how it could be a bench when the team had the healthiest roster in recent times. Well, it’s not about the players, but the coaching staff.
Earlier, HC Ty Lue had to abruptly take a step back from running the games, due to back pain. The champion coach missed 4 out of the six games while assistant Brian Shaw took care of the proceedings. Amid this situation, the team’s new lead assistant coach, Jeff Van Gundy, had also missed a game, citing a family medical matter.
While everyone thought that things would get back to normal, the latest update revealed that it become worse. Joey Linn of Sports Illustrated reported that Van Gundy will miss another couple of weeks, dealing with a family medical issue. Meanwhile, Ty Lue won’t pick up the board in tonight’s game against the Grizzlies, as he is still recovering from his back pain.
Jeff Van Gundy will be away from the Clippers for at least a couple weeks as he deals with a family medical issue.
Ty Lue is feeling better but will not coach again tonight due to his back pain.
