Clippers C Camby leaves with ankle injury

Jan 18, 2009 - 5:36 AM LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Los Angeles Clippers center Marcus Camby left Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks with a left ankle injury in the fourth quarter.

Camby came down on the side of his ankle after leaping for a rebound, fell to the floor in obvious pain and limped to the locker room. He will return to the bench after getting it taped, but it's unclear if he will re-enter the game.

A 6-11 former Defensive Player of the Year, Camby missed much of the preseason with a heel injury. He has averaged 12.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in 34 regular-season games since his return.

He had 18 points and 11 rebounds prior to his departure in this one for Los Angeles, which is aiming to snap its 12-game losing streak.

The Clippers already are shorthanded without leading scorers Baron Davis (tailbone) and Zach Randolph (left knee).
