Clippers' Hill could miss significant time http://i.imgur.com/Z1eVL.png Vet FW Grant Hill will likely miss opening night, and it could be weeks until he returns. An MRI on Hill's right knee showed a bone bruise, coach Del Negro said Tuesday. After the Clippers' 88-71 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday, Hill said his injury will keep him out "at least a couple of weeks." Hill was expected to compete with Matt Barnes and Willie Green for the starting shooting guard spot until Chauncey Billups returns. Hill has appeared in two preseason games, both against the Miami Heat in China. Neither Hill nor Lamar Odom has played in a preseason game since coming back from the China trip. Hill, Odom, and Trey Thompkins didn't practice Tuesday. All three players are dealing with what the team has called "bone bruises" in their knees. The Clippers and Del Negro have been vague with details on the injuries. Tuesday, Del Negro said he expects Odom to return before Hill. Source
