NEW YORK -- Los Angeles Clippers guard J.J. Redick was taken out of Monday's 102-100 loss to the Brooklyn Nets with back spasms after just four minutes and did not return.
After the game, Clippers coach Doc Rivers wasn't sure when Redick would be able to return.
Redick hurt his back on the final play of last Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets and missed Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz with back spasms. He returned and started the Clippers' previous two games against the New Orleans Pelicans and San Antonio Spurs before being pulled early against Brooklyn.
"It's just spasms," Rivers said. "I think it's from that hit [against Denver]. He probably shouldn't have played, who knows, but we're just going to rest him until he's right."
Redick is averaging 14.7 points, 1.6 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 29.5 minutes per game this season.
