Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers suffered a broken left hand, the team announced Sunday.
Rivers suffered a left hand fracture in the second quarter of the Clippers’ loss to Minnesota on Wednesday. Rivers did not play in Friday night’s game in Orlando and underwent an MRI Saturday in Miami that revealed the fracture.
Rivers will be re-evaluated in Los Angeles on Monday and a timetable for his return will be established at that time, but ESPN reported he likely will be out four to six weeks.
Rivers has appeared in 46 games (five starts) this season, averaging a career-high 8.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.6 minutes per game.
