Chris Paul does not expect Eric Bledsoe back with the Clippers next season.
Did Paul simultaneously admit he's planning on re-signing with the Clippers? "I've said it all season long. I'm enjoying playing with him right now because there's no way he can be here next year because we probably won't have enough money to pay him," Paul said. "He should be a starting point guard in this league next year." Bledsoe is under contract for next season, but the overwhelming expectation is the team will try to move him after securing CP3's signature on the dotted line. Apr 22 - 9:21 AM

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe is just now getting his legs back under him after his calf injury earlier in the season.

"He gives us an edge to us out there defensively and the speed he plays with," Vinny Del Negro said. "We knew that was going to be a factor for us. I feel he's back playing with a lot of confidence. Bledsoe has looked fully healthy which is good news as the Clippers are preparing to head to the playoffs.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe caught fire in 22 minutes vs. the Suns, scoring 17 points with seven assists, two steals and one block.

He knocked down 8-of-14 shots with one 3-pointer and it looks like his nagging injuries are behind him, which is terrific news for the Clippers as they gear up for a deep playoff run.

Eric Bledsoe returned to action on Saturday with seven points and one assist in 10 minutes off the bench.

Bledsoe looked fine in limited action, but he's hard to see in Chris Paul's shadow. CP3 finished Saturday's win with a game-high 29 points (8-of-16 FGs, 12-of-13 FTs), three rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and two blocks.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe (calf) is hopeful he'll be able to return to the lineup Saturday night.

Bledsoe says he's ready to play, but it's likely that coach Vinny Del Negro that will make the final decision. Bledsoe hasn't played since March 7 and the Clippers could really use him to spell Chris Paul as the playoffs get closer. Stay tuned for news from Saturday's shootaround.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe (calf) practiced on Friday and "looked good" according to coach Vinny Del Negro.

Chauncey Billups (hamstring) practiced but with no contact and the Clippers could really use Bledsoe right now if anything so they can give Chris Paul a blow. It's unclear if he'll be ready for Saturday's game against the Nets, but a return appears to be around the corner.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe (calf) is without a timetable for his return.

Bledsoe is still listed as day-to-day, but his injury, described as a "sore left calf," is so painful that he's not even back in practice yet. "No, I'm not surprised at all it's taking this long," Bledsoe said. "I'm trying to work on controlling the swelling. It's getting there." Bledsoe's calf issue is clearly more serious than the team let on, and with Chauncey Billups (groin) getting hurt on Tuesday, Jamal Crawford will see extended minutes for the time being.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe (calf) will not play against the Kings on Tuesday.

His sore calf will keep him out of his fourth game in a row and he doesn't have a target date. The Clippers are going to take it easy on Bledsoe and he has no fantasy value with Chris Paul healthy and the Clippers having a sub-par schedule.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe (calf) will not play against the Knicks on Sunday.

His calf has kept him out of action for two games before Sunday and the Clippers have kept no secrets about waiting for him to get to 100 percent. He's not worth owning in almost any league.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe (calf) did not play on Wednesday, and "it doesn't look as if he will play any time soon."

Bledsoe still can't even practice with the team, so we're not counting on seeing him any time soon. With Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups and Jamal Crawford healthy, Bledsoe is not a factor in fantasy leagues.

Eric Bledsoe (calf) will not play against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

He's said it's still bothering him and there's no reason for the Clippers to rush him back. Bledsoe isn't worth owning in the vast majority of leagues since Chris Paul is healthy and the Clippers have one of the worst remaining schedules in fantasy leagues.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe (calf) did not practice on Monday and appears very iffy to play on Wednesday.

"Bledsoe is still out," Vinny Del Negro said. "So we've got to manage it right now like always." Bledsoe should be considered questionable since he's still got almost two days to recover, but the calf has been an issue since the end of February and won't go away unless it's rested properly. Jamal Crawford and Chauncey Billups would see a small boost if Bledsoe sits again.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Eric Bledsoe said that he doesn't want to worsen his calf injury by playing through the pain.

"I feel like I can't play, so I just have to sit out," he said. Bledsoe previously tried to play through the issue, but it was hampering his game. Bledsoe hasn't practiced over the last few days and will be questionable to suit up on Wednesday.

Eric Bledsoe (sore calf) will not play on Sunday.

Jamal Crawford (ankle) is also doubtful, which leaves plenty of minutes available for guys like Matt Barnes, Grant Hill and Willie Green.

Eric Bledsoe - G - Clippers

Vinny Del Negro said Eric Bledsoe is still listed as day-to-day with a sore left calf.

Bledsoe could play Sunday, be didn't top 15 minutes in any of his last five games and he clearly doesn't have much a role while CP3 is healthy. The Clippers have a terrible upcoming schedule, so there's very little reason to stash him.
