Darren Collison (stomach virus) returned to practice on Thursday, clearing the way for a return on Saturday. Jamal Crawford (calf) also hopes to play on Saturday and looms as a threat to Collison's playing time, which has ballooned to 36.5 minutes per game over the past two weeks. The Clippers will play it safe with both Crawford and J.J. Redick (back) so Collison's owners may get a short-term reprieve.
