PLAYING HURT

Hutchinson was injured late against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, but thought it was just minor soreness. He practiced the following day and had a career-high-tying 12 points and a career-high 12 rebounds in 41 minutes two nights later against the Los Angeles Clippers before the injury was discovered.

"You play a whole game, you think just some ice, some stim and treatment and you'll be good," Hutchinson said. "To have to be out for multiple weeks is kind of a bummer."
