C.J. McCollum was unable to play in Wednesday's game for the Portland Trail Blazers against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a clerical error.

The Blazers accidentally submitted a roster with McCollum on the inactive list instead of teammate Luis Montero, whose name appears next to McCollum's alphabetically on the sheet teams must submit before the game.

Had the Blazers attempted to play McCollum, they would have been assessed a technical foul and he would not have been allowed to play. In 2007, the then-Charlotte Bobcats were penalized for playing Jeff McInnis, who was ineligible. The same happened to the Washington Wizards in 2010, when they played Roger Mason.
