Chauncey Billups Out For the Season With a Torn Achilles Tendon

Now the pressure is on Mo Williams, who has been having a very good season of his own. L.A.’s bench was already thin so you have to think they’re going to make a bigger push for J.R. Smith once he’s allowed to leave China. The Knicks and Spurs are also interested in the swingman’s services.

Billups had been averaging 15 points and 4 assists as the Clippers started the season 15-7. The Clippers are currently 2.5 games ahead of the Lakers in the Pacific and currently the No. 2 seed in the West.
