Clippers Injury Report: Six Players Listed Ahead of Meaningless Game Against Rockets
Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and James Harden Among Those Out
Clippers Prepare for Playoffs Despite Injury Woes
The Los Angeles Clippers will face the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night in a game that has little meaning in the standings. However, the Clippers will be without several key players due to injury.
Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Ivica Zubac, and Nicolas Batum are all listed on the Clippers' injury report. Leonard (right knee) and George (right hamstring) are both out indefinitely. Harden (left hamstring) and Westbrook (right ankle) are both listed as day-to-day. Zubac (right calf) and Batum (left ankle) are both questionable to play.
The Clippers have struggled with injuries all season long. Leonard has only played in 15 games, while George has missed 18 games. Harden has missed 10 games, and Westbrook has missed 9 games. Zubac and Batum have both missed several games as well.
Despite the injuries, the Clippers are still in contention for a playoff spot. They are currently 33-28, which is good for sixth place in the Western Conference. The Clippers have won three of their last four games, including a win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night.
The Clippers will be looking to build on their recent success when they face the Rockets on Tuesday night. However, they will need to do so without several key players.
