Redick's coach Doc Rivers said he doesn't think the guard will play in the team's upcoming five-game road trip due to his back injury, the Clippers' official site reports.

Analysis:

Redick hasn't played since Feb. 3 with this lingering back issue. The Clippers are playing very well without their sharpshooter, so there's little reason to rush him back to action. Expect them to bring him along slowly so he's ready for the playoffs.
