Jamal Crawford: (Calf) Believes He'll Play Again This Season

Crawford (calf) believes that he won't miss the remainder of the season, the Los Angeles Times reports. "It's hard not playing," he said. "But I just look at it as each day is a little closer to coming back."

Analysis:

On Thursday, Crawford relayed that his bruised right calf isn't as "tender" as it was in past weeks, when the calf was drained in order to increase the rate of healing. While he has started shooting again, he has yet to resume running, which likely spurred coach Doc Rivers to state recently that Crawford was "nowhere near playing." Until he partakes in the usual array of basketball activity, consider Crawford out indefinitely.
