The L.A. Clippers were dealt a tough blow to their season with the announcement that power forward Blake Griffin would miss anywhere from 4-6 weeks following minor knee surgery.

On Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs, guard Chris Paul left the game with a left hamstring strain and did not return. The Clippers' reserves were able to hold off the Spurs, and Chris Paul's status was labeled as questionable moving forward.

Ahead of Friday night's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, head coach Doc Rivers says Paul will not play and will be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Chris Paul is considered questionable for Sunday's Christmas Day matchup against their intercity rival Los Angeles Lakers.
