Billups, 36, suffered the injury on Feb. 6 during a game against the Orlando Magic last season. He said at the time that he expected to miss six months and would not consider retiring.

The 15-year veteran of seven teams re-signed with Los Angeles in July for one year, $4.3 million. He played 20 games for the Clippers last season, starting at shooting guard next to Chris Paul and averaging 15.0 points and 4.0 assists.
