Randolph, Collins set to make debut for Clippers

Nov 26, 2008 - 11:21 AM Denver (9-5) at LA Clippers (2-12) 10:30 p.m. EST

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- After a slight delay, Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins are finally set to make their debut for the Los Angeles Clippers.

The duo are expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday when the Clippers host the surging Denver Nuggets.

Randolph and Collins were acquired on Friday from the New York Knicks in exchange for forward Tim Thomas and guard Cuttino Mobley. However, the completion of the trade was delayed pending the players' physicals as multiple reports stated that there was a health concern regarding Mobley's heart.

Mobley reportedly visited a heart specialist on Tuesday morning. The visit was evidently positive as the trade finally became official.

The Clippers lost three straight games while awaiting the arrival of Randolph and Collins and have dropped six of their last seven overall, including a 99-87 setback against the New Orleans Hornets on Monday.

Los Angeles center Marcus Camby, who was traded by the Nuggets for a second-round pick during the offseason, will be making his first appearance against his former team. The former Defensive Player of the Year, Camby missed the Clippers' 113-103 overtime loss to Denver on October 31 with a bruised right heel.

The Nuggets claimed a 114-101 victory against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, earning their eighth win in the last 11 games since acquiring Chauncey Billups from the Detroit Pistons on November 3.
