LOS ANGELES (AP) Forward Glen Rice was activated Wednesday by the Los Angeles Clippers, who put center Olden Polynice on the injured list.

Rice, a 14-year veteran, went on the injured list for the second time this season because of a bruised right knee Dec. 1. He missed the first five games with a hyperextended right knee.

He was averaging 2.0 points and 1.6 rebounds in five games heading into Wednesday night's game against Dallas.

Polynice has a strained neck, which kept him out of the season's first 12 games.

At 6-11 before Wednesday, the Clippers have the worst record in the NBA's Western Conference.
