Crawford exits with calf contusion

Los Angeles Clippers

MINNEAPOLIS -- Los Angeles Clippers guard Jamal Crawford suffered a right calf contusion in the first half of Monday's 110-105 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves and was sidelined for the rest of the night.

Crawford suffered the injury in the second quarter but played through it to score nine points, including a 3-pointer with 38 seconds left before halftime.

Crawford, who is averaging 16.5 points, 2.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds this season, had scored at least 15 points as a reserve in 10 consecutive games heading into Monday's, a streak that dated back to Feb. 2. It was the longest such streak of Crawford's career, the longest in the NBA this season and the longest by any Clipper since 1985-86.

The Clippers were already playing without Matt Barnes, who suffered a strained right hamstring in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Both players will be reevaluated when the team returns to Los Angeles on Tuesday.
