In this story:

The first battle of LA is taking place on Wednesday night as the Clippers and Lakers face off at the Crypto.com Arena.

Fresh off the James Harden trade, the revitalized Clippers will look to make it 12 straight against their LA rivals.

The Clippers are playing on the second night of a back-to-back after beating the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night, so there were questions about whether Paul George or Kawhi Leonard would suit up. However, the final injury report for the Clippers is out, and both George and Leonard are available.

Unsurprisingly, James Harden is not playing, but as we reported here, newly-acquired P.J. Tucker is.

The Clippers have won 11 straight against the Lakers, and clearly want to keep that streak alive. So they'll be fully loaded — minus Harden — for this early season rivalry matchup.

We'll continue to provide updates on the Lakers' injury report as they come in so make sure you're tuned into AllLakers.com all day long.
