Clippers Injury Report: Who's Out and Who's In?
The Los Angeles Clippers are in the midst of a tough stretch of games, and they're without some key players due to injuries. Here's a look at who's out and who's in for the Clippers:
Kawhi Leonard: Out (knee)
Paul George: Out (hamstring)
John Wall: Out (knee)
Marcus Morris Sr.: Out (knee)
These are all significant injuries for the Clippers, and it's going to be tough for them to win games without these players. Leonard is the team's best player, and George is a close second. Wall is a veteran point guard who provides leadership and stability, and Morris is a tough defender and rebounder.
The Clippers are going to have to find a way to win games without these players, and it's going to be a challenge. They have a lot of depth, but they're going to need some of their younger players to step up.
One player who has been playing well lately is Terance Mann. Mann is a young wing who has been starting in place of Leonard. He's averaging 14.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game this season.
Another player who has been playing well is Brandon Boston Jr. Boston is a rookie wing who has been getting more minutes lately. He's averaging 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game this season.
These are just two of the young players who will need to step up for the Clippers. If they can do that, the Clippers have a chance to stay in the playoff race.
Here's a look at the Clippers' upcoming schedule:
- Friday, January 27: @ Golden State Warriors
- Sunday, January 29: vs. Denver Nuggets
- Tuesday, January 31: vs. Boston Celtics
- Thursday, February 2: @ Utah Jazz
- Saturday, February 4: vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
The Clippers have a tough stretch of games coming up, but they're still in the playoff race. If they can stay healthy and get some of their younger players to step up, they have a chance to make a run in the playoffs.
