On Tuesday, Eric Bledsoe was among the 18 players selected for the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam on Feb. 18. That’s the game for rookies and second-year players. Unfortunately, no one could tell Bledsoe the news. “My phones were dead and Coach Vinny [Del Negro] was trying to get in touch with me,” Bledsoe said Wednesday. “Him and Neil [Olshey]. So they called my agent and ended up calling my mom. “My mom [Maureen] was just going at me. I was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ I went on Twitter and saw everybody congratulating.” It’s fairly likely Bledsoe will be the only Clipper in that game. Blake Griffin, of course, was among the 18 named but he has a jam-packed All-Star break, with the emphasis on jam. — LA Times

Clippers center Chris Kaman said Tuesday his injured left ankle is gradually improving, but he still doesn’t know when he’ll be back in the lineup. “[It's] getting there,” he said after the team practiced at its Playa Vista training facility ahead of its game Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls at Staples Center. “It’s not like there’s a time frame. I wish there was. I don’t know when I’m going to be playing again.” — LA Times

Clippers vice president of basketball operations Neil Olshey responded with a two-word answer when asked whether he planned on signing a player to a 10-day contract. “Absolutely not,” Olshey said of such a signing, despite the sizable void left by Eric Gordon’s injury and 24-point scoring average. Gordon has a sprained right wrist and bone chip fracture, which could possibly keep him out of the lineup for four weeks. — LA Times

Clippers’ guard Eric Gordon did not travel with the team to Dallas for tonight’s game against the Maverick’s so he could remain in Los Angeles for further examination on his right wrist, Continue reading for details on how long Gordon will be out

The loosely fitting title of Greatest Player in Los Angeles Clippers History, more or less, comes down to rookie power forward Blake Griffin or veteran power forward Elton Brand, who was Mr. Clipper before leaving for Philadelphia in 2008. Clipper broadcasting legend Ralph Lawler, in his 32nd season as the team’s play-by-play man, give the nod to

Wally Pipp was lost on 22-year-old DeAndre Jordan. Frankly, the old-school reference might have been lost on Jordan’s parents. But then the Clippers’ locker room skews quite young. Blake Griffin, 21, was educating some of his youthful teammates on a road trip about semi-recent NBA draft history and the career of Patrick Ewing. “I’m too young” to know about Ewing, Jordan said to a couple of reporters. Reporter: “I’m too young to know Wally Pipp. But I know about Wally Pipp.” When it was explained in greater detail that Pipp got hurt and lost his starting job to Lou Gehrig, never got it back and the rest was baseball history, that triggered a response from Jordan. “Ooh, that’s tough,” Jordan said. “That’s tough.” – LA Times

Clippers rookie Blake Griffin is 40 games into his professional career, and the game looks, well, easy. “The game itself is a little bit easier than I thought,” he says, “But it’s just a start for us here. “It’s still a Lakers town; nothing has changed. It’s not like we have dethroned the champs.” — LA Times

Clippers center Chris Kaman, out because of an injured ankle, is not remotely close to returning to action and said he still is feeling a lot of pain. His return certainly won’t be before February when the Clippers go into exile on the road, two massive trips with the All-Star break in between. Still, that hasn’t stopped Kaman’s name from bouncing all over the Internet like a pinball, especially given the emergence of third-year center DeAndre Jordan. Kaman wants to stay with the Clippers, but knows he could be traded.

Later, it was noted that LeBron James had been in Cleveland for seven years before leaving for Miami, bringing forth an interesting analogy from Clippers rookie Blake Griffin. It sounds like Griffin is dropping a hint about leaving the Paper Clips as a free agent in a few years…
