Billups undergoes successful surgery
Clippers guard Chauncey Billups underwent a successful surgery in Colorado on Wednesday to repair his torn left Achilles tendon that cost him the remainder of his first season in Los Angeles.
The New York Post reported Thursday that Billups had fluid drained from his left knee and also received a cortisone shot, both in an attempt to get him back on the court for a critical Game 3 matchup on Friday against the Celtics.
