MILWAUKEE – Grant Hill is elevating his training and began participating in more running drills on Saturday night under the direction of Los Angeles Clippers trainers.

“He’s taking it in stride,” Vinny Del Negro said of Hill, who has yet to play this season with a knee injury. “Not too much, just getting a feel for it. But all systems go right now.

“He’s gradually moving [up].”

After returning from an Achilles injury over two weeks ago, Chauncey Billups has missed the past six games due to peroneal tendinitis in his left foot. He has also been slowly ramped up his activity, receiving treatment and doing light court work.

For now, no one around the Clippers wants to put a timetable on either Billups or Hill. Billups could return sometime late next week.
