Doc Rivers famously refuses to share any injury information regarding the Clippers, and his go-to excuse is that he simply doesn’t ask the medical staff for any details.
That strategy has proved prescient for the current national climate, when it is of utmost importance to protect players’ privacy regarding their health. Rivers can’t disclose any medical information if he doesn’t know it.
So when Rivers says that JaMychal Green surprised him when he walked into practice today — that the Clippers coach didn’t know Green had finished his Orlando self-isolation — it’s par for the course.
