"Clippers guard Chauncey Billups suffered a left Achilles' tendon injury Monday night, and there were concerns within the team it could be ruptured, which would end his season.

"It felt like somebody kicked me, man," Billups said after the game as he made his way to the team bus with crutches under both arms and a walking boot on his foot. "I don't know if it's torn, but I know it's not good."

There was a hush in the Clippers' locker room after their 107-102 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic at Amway Center.

Chris Paul fought back tears when asked what Billups has meant to the team.

Clippers Coach Vinny Del Negro kept shaking his head, repeatedly saying how bad he felt for Billups and adding, "This is not good.""
