LA Clippers vs Orlando Magic Injury Report Revealed
The LA Clippers face off against the Orlando Magic in the first game of their back-to-back, but it looks like they're going to have to do it without their best player.
Kawhi Leonard will be missing for the LA Clippers due to right knee injury management. Since it's the first night of a back-to-back, expect Kawhi Leonard to miss this game, but then play against the Portland Trail Blazers tomorrow. Norman Powell continues to be out with his left shoulder subluxation as well. Additionally, Brandon Boston Jr, Moussa Diabate, Xavier Moon, and Jason Preston will all be out because of the G League.
The Orlando Magic will only be missing two players. Jalen Suggs is out with a concussion, and Jonathan Isaac is out with torn left adductor surgery.
Even though the Clippers have found some breathing room in the standings, they still can't afford to lose this game against the Orlando Magic. Orlando will be the easiest team the Clippers face for the rest of the season, and can still fan into the play-in spot if they start slipping up.
The Clippers only have 12 games left in the season: Magic, Blazers, Thunder, Thunder, Pelicans, Bulls, Grizzlies, Grizzlies, Pelicans, Lakers, Blazers, and Suns. Aside from the Magic, every single one of those teams has something to fight for. With a schedule this difficult, the LA Clippers can not afford to lose against the Orlando Magic.
