The LA Clippers, reeling on an eight-game losing streak, are planning for the return of starting point guard Patrick Beverley against the New York Knicks on Monday, league sources tell ESPN.
Beverley has missed five straight games with a sore right knee. He has averaged 12.9 points, three assists and three rebounds for the Clippers this season.
Los Angeles has struggled without their opening night backcourt of Beverley and rookie Milos Teodosic. As Beverley plans his return on Monday, Teodosic's return is still uncertain. He suffered an injury to his left plantar fascia in October, and isn't expected back in the near future.
