A word from the Clippers as this basketball thing gets going again:

ocregister.com/2020/07/01/cli…

Landry Shamet on the team's approach to the 8 seeding games: "I don't think there's going to be any lack of urgency."

He adds: "We only have 8 games to ramp up. ... There's no easing into anything."

Landry Shamet says he’s been watching a lot of film of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson from a few years ago to figure out how to break down defenses that are trying to prevent him from shaking free on the perimeter and how to trigger other actions with his movement and decisions.

Landry Shamet on life in Orlando: "Obviously I'm going to miss my people." Mentions his girlfriend, his mom, his new puppy. In Orlando he said he might pick up golfing and compete with Doc.

Landry Shamet on COVID concerns ahead of restart in Florida: "There's risk, there's no option with no risk at this point. You can get it getting gas today down the street. It's obviously a concern, but we're in the best possible situation to combat that."

Landry Shamet, asked about his level of concern traveling to Florida, said the rising covid-19 cases there are obviously a concern but he feels the bubble will be the safest environment available.

The Lakers make it official that they have signed guard JR Smith as a substitute player for the NBA restart of the season. Smith will take place of guard Avery Bradley, who opted not to play because of health concerns for his young son.

Doc Rivers says conditioning and continuity are top priorities after the team arrives in Orlando. Once team gets there, he says he'll have a better idea of where the Clippers are at.

Doc Rivers said he was talking to Adam Silver last week and they agreed that this season’s champion will deserve a gold star instead of an asterisk because of how mentally resilient the team that survives three months in Orlando will have to be.

Doc Rivers on COVID-19: "It would be great if we had national leadership on this, which we have zero."

Doc says Joakim Noah will help the Clippers with his energy and his basketball IQ. He thinks he’ll be a good influence on Ivica Zubac, who’s turning into a “terrific player.”

"Just watch it in full," Doc Rivers says of the video of George Floyd's killing. "If that doesn't change you or affect you then you have no feelings."

Doc Rivers on police reform: "Clearly, we want reform. That's what everyone should want. We want good. .. It's important for us to get this right."

Doc Rivers says as of now no Clippers are opting out of playing in Orlando.

Doc Rivers is speaking to media right now. He says he expects Lou Williams to be with the team. "I would be very surprised if he is not."

Doc on conference call with reporters: "All indications is that yes, he is (going to play). I do expect Lou to be with us."

Doc Rivers says “all indications” are that Lou Williams will be playing in Orlando.
