Clippers without Gordon, Telfair against Nuggets

DENVER -- The already shorthanded Clippers are down two more players for their game against the Nuggets on Thursday.

Guards Eric Gordon (sprained toe) and Sebastian Telfair (hamstring) were both injured during Los Angeles' win over the Bulls on Wednesday but Gordon's appears less severe.

"Eric's is more day to day; he's on the trip," Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said before Thursday's game. "Hopefully for our next game. Telfair did not make the trip. He's seeing a specialist tomorrow."

The Clippers have been hit hard with injuries again this year. Blake Griffin, the first overall pick in the 2009 draft, had season-ending knee surgery Wednesday. Guard Kareem Rush is out for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee.

Los Angeles has missed 90 man games to injury this season.

"It is frustrating," Dunleavy said. "There are a lot of other teams that have been more fortunate. Unless you're one of the teams that are way under the luxury tax and have incredible depth and just keep bringing players in it's tough at times."
