Clippers will start Green in Redick's absence

Despite having only appeared in five games this season, veteran shooting guard Willie Green will get the starting nod for the Los Angeles Clippers with J.J. Redick injured.

Redick is out six-to-eight weeks due to a hand and wrist injury.

Green is in his 11th NBA season and has averaged 8.7 points in his career. Last year, he started 60 of the 72 games he appeared in for the Clippers, averaging 6.3 points and hitting 42.8 percent of his 3-point attempts.
