Redick (heel) is expected to play in Sunday's Game 1 against the Trail Blazers, Rowan Kavner of Clippers.com reports.

Analysis:

Redick was held out of Wednesday's regular season finale due to the injury, though he likely would have been rested either way. The diagnosis is a "heel bruise," so it doesn't look to be anything serious, and the Clippers are expected to issue an update after practice Friday. In the event that Redick is at all limited, Jamal Crawford and Austin River would be in line to pick up extra minutes.
