Here’s the Los Angeles Times reporting on Clippers guard Austin Rivers, who took a very hard elbow to the mouth that continues to affect him:

Clippers backup guard Austin Rivers has been to the dentist four times, including getting a root canal Saturday, to repair three teeth that were loosened and one that was knocked out by a wayward elbow from teammate Branden Dawson during a practice in China on Oct. 9.
“As long as they make it look good, that’s all I care about,” Rivers joked before the team practiced Sunday.
The contact happened when Rivers tried to block a layup attempted by Dawson. Rivers said he had never taken a worse blow to his mouth.
“They were kind of just hanging there,” Rivers said of his teeth. “And I had to stick my teeth back in my mouth.”
