Los Angeles Clippers point guard Randy Foye will miss Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks with a sprained left hamstring. Foye hurt his hamstring during a non-contact drill at Saturday's practice and is officially listed as day to day. Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said Foye will be re-evaluated Monday but predicted Foye would likely "be out a week or two." ESPN.com

A couple of months ago this was going to be the summer of all summers for the Clippers, a fresh start, a chance to hire a new coach, $17 million in cap space to go after LeBron or other big names like him and make a huge splash. And so they signed Randy Foye and Ryan Gomes. Or, as Sterling put it, "If I really called the shots we wouldn't have signed Gomes and what's the other guy's name? "You know, they told me if we built a new practice facility we'd attract all the top players in the game," Sterling adds. "I guess I should have doubled the size of this place." Los Angeles Times

He's no different than most Clippers fans. "I swear to you, I never heard of these guys," Sterling says, "but what if the coach says he wants them?" Los Angeles Times

Sterling says he can't understand why LeBron didn't listen more intently to the Clippers' overtures, which included $100 million and unstated things being done by Staples Center to enhance the L.A. invite. But picture LeBron sitting there, free agency yet to begin, and reports out of Los Angeles the Clippers are pinching pennies and embroiled in a public dispute with their former coach and last two GMs. "If you resign from The Times, what rights do you have?" Sterling says. "The lawyers say [Dunleavy] quit." Los Angeles Times

It got overshadowed by LeBron James's decision to dump Cleveland for that lovely belle down on South Beach, but the Wizards lost one of its free agents on Thursday, when Randy Foye signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. Foye wasn't expected to come back to Washington, and he pretty much knew the door had been closed on his return before the team bypassed tendering his $4.8 million qualifying offer and made him an unrestricted free agent. "I was expecting it," Foye said in a telephone interview late Thursday night. "I pretty much felt it early on. But after they got the No. 1 pick, I definitely knew." Washington Post

Foye said he tries not to look back on the past season in Washington because "it frustrates me. After the season that I had in Minnesota and going there, it frustrates me. The way I was used. Things that were said to me that wasn't true. I hurt my ankle and lost playing time for like 20- something games. It was a constant fight, like an uphill climb all year. On the court and with the situations [off the court] it was just a tough year. Things happen like that, but you live to fight another day." Foye said he "had a blast" with free agency, having spoken with the Clippers, Utah, New York and New Jersey, which will play in his hometown of Newark next season. But Foye said he opted to join the Clippers -- which was a long-shot suitor of James -- because they showed the most interest and kept in touch daily throughout the negotiating period.

Hearing through sources in Minnesota that the Foye deal would be for two years for total of $8-million plus. Twitter

It appears as though the Clippers' first move in the summer free-agent market will be signing guard Randy Foye. Foye, 26, who can play point guard or shooting guard, averaged 10.1 points for the Wizards last season and had gone to Washington in a pre-draft trade with Minnesota last year, along with Mike Miller.

LAT update: It is expected that FA guard Randy Foye will be going to the Clippers. Earlier talk had been about Wizards' guard Mike Miller. Twitter

In order to complete the deal, the Wizards will have to renounce the rights to some or most of their free agents, which was likely to occur, according to two leagues sources with knowledge of the situation. By renouncing the rights to players such as Josh Howard, Mike Miller and Randy Foye, among others, the Wizards would lose their Bird rights to those players and wouldn't be able to go over the salary cap to retain them. They would only be able to sign them for the money available under the salary cap, but none of their free agents is expected to sign for a huge annual salary. Washington Post

Alex Kennedy: The Orlando Magic are also showing interest in Randy Foye, according to sources. Twitter

Randy Foye will become an unrestricted free agent on Thursday after a source with knowledge of the Wizards' thinking confirmed that the team will not extend the $4.8 million qualifying offer. Had the Wizards tendered the qualifying offer, they would've had first right of refusal if Foye signed with another team. Now Foye, the seventh pick of the 2006 NBA draft, will be free to sign with the team of his choice when the free agent negotiating period begins. Washington Post

Foye, 26, became expendable when the Wizards drafted John Wall with the No. 1 overall pick and reached an agreement to acquire Kirk Hinrich from Chicago last Thursday. The source added that the Wizards still have interest in Foye, but not at the price of his qualifying offer. With the team committing nearly $30 million to point guards, Foye is unlikely to return.
