Clippers C Chris Kaman is scheduled to be back on the floor next week. He's been out since late November with a strained left arch. "We should get him back for 25-plus games," coach Mike Dunleavy said. ... Dunleavy agreed to wear a mic during the game for the local TV broadcast. "They got to watch my language," he said, laughing.
