For the first time since Nov. 27, the Los Angeles Clippers will have all of the pieces of their primary four-guard rotation healthy and in uniform together.

Head coach Doc Rivers has revealed that shooting guard Jamal Crawford will play on Saturday when the Clippers take on the Sacramento Kings. Crawford has missed the last five games due to a left calf strain, the same injury that sidelined him for all but one game over nearly a month in February and March.

This follows the return of J.J. Redick and, before that, Chris Paul. Darren Collison is the only guard who has been healthy throughout the year.

Player Games Games Missed
Darren Collison 77 2
Jamal Crawford 66 13
Chris Paul 60 19
J.J. Redick 33 46

The fact that the Clippers have patched together the league's second-best offense despite this has to terrify other teams in the Western Conference. With all four healthy, the Clippers could be set to hit their offensive stride at the perfect time.
