No timetable for Montrezl Harrell’s bubble return

Doc Rivers has told LA Clippers forward Montrezl Harrell to take as much time as he needs following the death of Harrell’s grandmother. Harrell posted a message titled “I LOVE YOU GRANDMA” on his Instagram story describing just how heartbroken he is. Harrell left the Clippers on July 17 for an excused family emergency. “From others, I get asked from inside like, when is Trez coming back and my answer’s been the same,” Rivers said before the Clippers played the New Orleans Pelicans. “When he’s ready, he’ll come back. You can’t play if you’re not right mentally and because of the emotional part of it. … His grandmother is very tight with him so all I told him is I love him and take your time. We’ll be ready with open arms when you come.”
