The LA Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder face off in their second matchup of the regular season. The Thunder are off of a very heartbreaking loss against the Golden State Warriors last night and the second night of a back-to-back tonight.

Unfortunately for the Thunder, they'll have to face off against the Clippers without their star center Chet Holmgren. Not only will they be out Holmgren, they'll also be out their backup center Isaiah Hartenstein. Holmgren suffered a right iliac hip fracture and will be out for at least 8-10 weeks for the Thunder.

But on the other hand I’ve felt the frustration of this process, and the wear it puts on your mind. Most of all I’m hurt I can’t help my teammates and play for our fans and supporters for a while.

Don’t pity me or feel bad, there’s lots of people out there rn with real problems that don’t heal."

Without both Holmgren and Hartenstein on the court, the LA Clippers must have Ivica Zubac take advantage. Last time the Clippers faced off against the Thunder, Zubac had one of his worst games of the season. That can't happen tonight.
