It was a mixed bag for Los Angeles sports teams on Tuesday.
Clippers: Guard Chauncey Billups after going down in the fourth quarter Monday night in Orlando was diagnosed with a tear of his left Achilles’ tendon. He will miss the rest of the season.
Dodgers: The Dodgers inked Cy Young Award winning pitcher Clayton Kershaw to a two-year, $19 million deal avoiding arbitration. Kershaw will receive $7.5 million this season and $11 million in 2013.
Kings: They found some offense in Tampa with a 3-1 win over the Lightning. Anze Kopitar, Kyle Clifford and Dustin Penner each scored goals. Steve Stamkos scored the only goal for Tampa, his league-leading 35th goal of the season.
