Hawes (knee) is dealing with a bone bruise on his knee but is without a return timetable.

Analysis:

False reports surfaced earlier in the week suggesting Hawes could miss the rest of the season, but the veteran refuted those reports, instead stating that the injury is actually healing well. "It's progressing, though," Hawes said. "It's going the right direction. That's what I'm most encouraged by. The range of motion's better, the pain's going down. It's responding to everything we've done treatment-wise and what we've done to try to test it out. Walking easier, got rid of my limp, so things are looking up." Look for further updates on Hawes' status in the near future, but for now it would seem safe to rule him out for at least the Clippers' next two games Friday (Denver) and Saturday (Milwaukee).
