Due to a “clerical error”, C. J. McCollum could only watch as the LA Clippers took down his Portland Trail Blazers 109-98 Wednesday night. He was on the bench because he was mistakenly added to the inactive list prior to the game.
Whoever fills out the roster list prior to the game likely made the error. Blazers head coach Terry Stotts signed off on it. , and by the time he noticed, it was too late.
McCollum is the Blazers leading scorer. Following the Clippers 109 – 98 win, CJ and Doc Rivers exchanged a bit of cross-court banter.

Postgame CJ summed it up by basically saying, those are the breaks, the team will move forward and get the next win.
