Clippers Injury Report: Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and James Harden’s Availability Brings a Bad News Followed by Some Good Ones Amid 8-0 Run

The Los Angeles Clippers are on a roll. After an abysmal start to the James Harden era in LA, the Clippers have finally found the success formula. They are on a historic eight-game winning streak, their longest since 2016. This is the most successful run by the Clippers since Kawhi Leonard and Paul George joined forces in 2019. The Clippers will face Luka Doncic & co tomorrow in hopes of extending their winning streak to 9 games.

However, an update on the availability of superstars Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and James Harden for the next game has brought a mixed bag of emotions for the Clippers fans amid the 8-0 run.

Los Angeles Clippers injury report against Dallas

According to Clippers writer Tomer Azarly, Paul George is questionable for tomorrow’s game against the Mavericks due to an illness. PG is in elite form this season, and he scored a solid 27 points in last night’s win against the Pacers. Fellow guard Bones Hyland is also questionable for the game. There is also some good news for the Clippers fans, as their superstars Kawhi Leonard and James Harden are unlisted on the injury report. They will suit up tomorrow in pursuit of another win. Apart from the star players, Mason Plumlee and Moussa Diabate will remain out in tomorrow’s game.

The availability of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard is a big boost for the Clippers, as both players have been in top form recently. Kawhi has had 6 consecutive 25+ point games and is playing some of his best basketball. The Beard is also starting to show the world why he is a former league MVP. Harden went off for 35 points in the last game, going 8 of 11 from beyond the arc.

Can the Clippers beat a shorthanded Mavs team?

The Clippers are currently 6th in the Western Conference with a 16-10 record. They have a chance to move up the rankings and overtake Dallas for the 5th spot tomorrow. The Mavs will be shorthanded in tomorrow’s game as their superstar, Kyrie Irving, is still recovering from his foot injury. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic has singlehandedly carried the Dallas Mavericks to a 16-10 record. Luka is having an MVP-caliber season, averaging 32.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 9.1 assists.

The LA Clippers will need another impressive performance from their superstars Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook if they want to get past Luka Doncic and Co. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue will have to come up with a strategy to contain Luka Doncic on offense while Kawhi and Harden take care of the scoring. Do you think the Clippers can stop the in-form Luka Doncic and extend their winning streak?
