Barry Suffering Another Setback
- Share via
Guard Brent Barry, who missed the first 14 games of the season because of a thumb injury, was just starting to flourish, scoring a season-high 17 points in Friday’s victory over the Denver Nuggets.
However, Barry suffered a sprained left ankle at the end of last Saturday’s practice and isn’t expected to play tonight against the Atlanta Hawks at the Sports Arena.
The Clippers don’t think he’ll miss five games.

Atlanta Hawk Coach Lenny Wilkens, the NBA’s all-time winningest coach, played two seasons for Clipper Coach Bill Fitch in Cleveland.
Fitch, the NBA’s fourth-winningest coach with 907 wins, and Wilkens were voted among the top 10 coaches in NBA history earlier this season. Wilkens, also named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history, was the only man named to both lists.
