Clippers' Dudley has MRI exam on bruised knee

Clippers small forward Jared Dudley said he had an MRI exam Friday on his bruised right knee that was negative.

Dudley said he was having a "tough time bending" the knee so he wanted to see a doctor to know that "mentally" there wasn't a problem. He said the kneecap was rubbing against a ligament and that has caused some inflammation in his knee.

Dudley said he has had the injury since August, and that now it's a day-to-day thing.
