Shaun Livingston, who might sit out the 2007-08 season, is guaranteed $4.4 million next season. The Clippers had planned to offer Livingston a multi-year contract this summer, but it's now unclear when, or if, Livingston will return.

The Clippers, however, remain committed to the third-year player.

"We feel that he's young enough, the doctors will get him into position and he'll work hard enough, so he'll be back playing for us," Dunleavy said. "Shaun knows what he has to do."
