Clippers' DeAndre Jordan: Not traveling for Thursday's game

Jordan will not travel with the Clippers to Denver for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

The Clippers are heading into the second game of a back-to-back set, so both Jordan and Blake Griffin are expected to head back to Los Angeles in anticipation of Saturday's home matchup with the Cavaliers. That's means neither will be available Thursday, which should leave the Clippers thin in the frontcourt. With the two aforementioned players out, guys like Marreese Speights and Brandon Bass should pick up a much bigger workload in the frontcourt.
