Butler to start for Clips despite broken left hand
LOS ANGELES (AP) Caron Butler is in the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 3 despite breaking his left hand in the opener of their first-round playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Butler sat out Game 2, which the Grizzles won in Memphis to even the series 1-1.
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro says the Clippers might have underestimated the veteran forward's toughness.
Butler's left hand is his non-shooting hand.
