Afflalo (abdominal) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Clippers, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Afflalo is dealing with a strained right abdominal muscle and will miss a second straight game after sitting out Wednesday as well. Sasha Vujacic is expected to move into the starting lineup again in his place after posting a season-high of 23 points and five rebounds over 33 minutes during his last start. Afflalo's next opportunity to return will be Sunday versus the Lakers.
