Clippers guard Austin Rivers is expected to miss the rest of the regular season after straining his left hamstring.

“I think it’s a little more serious (than initially believed),” coach Doc Rivers said before the Clippers beat the Lakers 115-104 on Saturday. It’s unsure whether Rivers will miss part of the playoffs.

The Clippers’ victory made Rivers the 15th coach in NBA history with 800 wins.

Blake Griffin scored 36 points, Chris Paul 29 and J.J. Redick 19 for the Clippers, who have won three in a row and seven of nine.

Griffin scored the game’s first basket on a jumper, giving him 10,000 points in his career.
