LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors Injury Report Revealed /

Twenty-four hours after an incredibly controversial finish against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Toronto Raptors face off against the LA Clippers tonight. Unfortunately for Toronto, the Clippers are the more rested and the more healthy team.

The Clippers only have one player listed on their injury report - Moussa Diabate. Diabate is out due to a right-hand metacarpal fracture. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook are all listed as available against the Raptors tonight.

The Toronto Raptors have six players listed on their injury report: Gradey Dick, Javon Freeman-Liberty, Christian Koloko, Markquis Nowell, Jakob Poeltl, and Otto Porter Jr. Gradey Dick is out on a G League assignment, Javo Freeman-Liberty is out on a G League two-way, Christian Koloko is out with a respiratory issue, Markquis Nowell is ut due to a G League two-way, Jakob Poeltl is out due to a left ankle sprain, and Otto Porter Jr. is out due to a right knee sprain.

Despite Toronto's 15-22 record, the LA Clippers should not be expecting to simply walk over the Raptors. Toronto had been playing improved basketball since trading for Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, but will be especially fired up after Tuesday night's loss against the Los Angeles Lakers. The controversial finish saw their head coach Darko Rajakovic give an incredibly furious postgame interview that should likely galvanize the Raptors. If the Clippers can survive the barrage though, they'll be rewarded with a 24-13 record, putting them less than three games from the first seed.

The LA Clippers and the Toronto Raptors face off tonight at 10:30 p.m. EST.
