Clippers vs Magic Injury Update: Will James Harden Team Up With Kawhi Leonard and Tonight After Bombshell Trade?

The prolonged James Harden trade saga has reached its conclusion, as the Clippers acquired him in a trade earlier today. The Clippers finally got their man and with Harden on their roster, they would look to clinch their first NBA title in franchise history. Following Harden’s departure, the Sixers face an uncertain future as they embark on a rebuild under Nick Nurse. However, the Clippers have emerged as a formidable contender because of the star-power that they possess.

The Clippers are scheduled to play against the Orlando Magic in their fourth game of the season later tonight. With the recent blockbuster acquisition of Harden, fans are eager to witness his debut with the team.

Will Harden play for the Clippers tonight?

The Clippers traded away Marcus Morris, Nic Batum, Robert Covington, Kenyon Martin Jr., and draft picks for James Harden and PJ Tucker. The trade makes them instant title favorites and gives Harden the best opportunity to win his first ring. They have started the season in decent form, winning two games out of three. They play the Magic at the Crypto.com Arena later tonight.

But, their newest recruit, Harden, won’t play the game because the move happened too late for tonight’s game.

The Clippers are dealing with additional injury concerns, with key players like Zubac and Powell listed as doubtful for the upcoming game. 27-year-old guard Terence Mann will also miss the game due to an ankle injury. The Clippers will aim to secure another victory, as Harden is expected to be on the sidelines during the game.
