Clippers' Hawes expects to return Monday

Spencer Hawes expects to return to the Los Angeles Clippers' lineup Monday against the Utah Jazz. The big man is listed as probable after missing the last nine games with a left knee injury.

Hawes, who injured his knee in a Dec. 12 game against the Washington Wizards, is averaging 6.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 17 minutes per game. The Clippers need all the depth they can get behind Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
