Jamal Crawford is back in practice and close to his return.
The recently progressed timetable on Jamal Crawford appears to be accurate as Crawford joined the Los Angeles Clippers in practice on Friday:

Jamal Crawford looked good in practice today. No official return date set but sources said Tuesday is still the tentative plan.

Crawford has been out with a calf injury, but the Clippers have won 10 of their last 13 games. In preparation for the offseason, getting Crawford back on the court and into his rhythm is vital, particularly for the Clipper bench. Last season’s Sixth Man of the Year is the only true playmaker on the perimeter outside of Chris Paul.
Even with Crawford, the Clippers still have depth issues. They’re competing at a high level and scrapping for wins, but at their core, they want to score. Their ability to do that improves with Crawford returning to the line up, which is probable to happen early next week.
