Douglas-Roberts has been diagnosed with Achilles tendonitis and is not expected to miss significant time, the Orange County Register's Dan Woike reports. Achilles injuries are potentially very serious, so the fact that CDR is dealing with nothing more than tendonitis is reassuring. He remains questionable to play Saturday against Phoenix but shouldn't miss much time beyond that even if he has to sit out against the Suns.

Douglas-Roberts is questionable to play Saturday against the Suns due to a sore right Achilles' tendon. Douglas-Roberts has been a healthy scratch for three of the Clippers' last four games and may be forced to sit Saturday due to the Achilles issue. The extent of the injury is uncertain, but look for the team to elaborate in the coming days.

Douglas-Roberts has not made a field goal (3 FGA per game) in his three games played this season, despite averaging 13.7 minutes per contest. Douglas-Roberts can provide the Clippers with real life value, thanks to his energy and defense off their bench. He provides nothing for fantasy owners, especially considering his current playing time, and is better left on the waiver-wire. If thrust into a starting role, Douglas-Roberts could see some value for steals, but would even then be limited to deep-league value.

Douglas-Roberts (ankle) will not serve as the starting small forward in next Thursday's season opener, Dan Woike of the Orange County Register reports. Douglas-Roberts' spot will be taken over by Matt Barnes, who saw a career-high 28 minutes last season. It's currently unclear if this is due to injury -- he suffered a sprained ankle in last Friday's exhibition game -- or if this is head coach Doc Rivers' plan for the entirety of the season.

Douglas-Roberts suffered a sprained ankle in Friday's preseason game against Utah and will not play Saturday against Denver, the Clippers' official site reports. Coach Doc Rivers said the injury is not very serious, so it is possible that Douglas-Roberts could be back on the floor as early as Tuesday against the Warriors. Joe Ingles will start in Douglas-Roberts' place.

Douglas-Roberts earned praise from coach Doc Rivers after Tuesday's performance against the Warriors, specifically for his effort on defense, according to the LA Times' Ben Bolch. Douglas-Roberts is only on the radar in the deepest of leagues at the moment, but could be a legitimate pick up in deeper formats if he begins to carve out a role for the Clippers. Aside from the potential for steals, if Douglas-Roberts can play meaningful minutes in an offense run by Chris Paul, he could become a cheap deeper league add.

Douglas-Roberts signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Clippers on Thursday, the Detroit Free Press reports. The addition of Douglas-Roberts brings the Clippers' roster to 13 player heading into training camp. The team is expected to re-sign Hedo Turkoglu at some point and remains in contention for the services of veteran marksman Ray Allen. Douglas-Roberts, 27, spent last season with the Bobcats, signing on in December after an injury to Jeff Taylor. The Memphis product averaged 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 20.7 minutes per game.

Douglas-Roberts is expected to sign with the Clippers, the Orange County Register reports. Douglas-Roberts resurfaced in the NBA last season with Charlotte, making 49 appearances, including eight starts for a playoff team. In 20.7 minutes per game, CDR averaged 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.0 three-pointers, while shooting 39 percent from long-range. Should he complete a deal with the Clippers, Douglas-Roberts would compete with Reggie Bullock and rookie C.J. Wilcox for reserve playing time at both wing positions.

Chris Douglas-Roberts played 25 minutes and hit 6-of-8 shots and two 3-pointers for 17 points, three rebounds and one assist in Saturday's loss. He scored a total of seven points in Games 1 & 2, so it's hard to suggest using him in Game 4. Gary Neal played 28 minutes off the bench, but didn't do much outside of scoring nine points.

Chris Douglas-Roberts shot 7-of-9 from the field for 18 points vs. the Wizards on Monday with three boards and two 3-pointers in 28 minutes. Coach Steve Clifford has kept him in the lineup a little more than usual due to his improved play. Douglas-Roberts played 28.6 minutes per game over his last five, averaging 10.8 points, 3.2 boards, 0.6 steals and 1.0 triples. With Gary Neal back, CDR is likely going to have some inconsistencies.
