After signing Serge Ibaka in free agency following the 2020 season, the Clippers did not get to experience much of what the veteran big man brings to the table. Just 39 games into the season, Ibaka suffered a back injury that essentially ended his season. He attempted to make a comeback in the team's final two regular season games, but only made two appearances in the playoffs before being shut down indefinitely.
The Clippers have been without Ibaka since that time, but it looks as if his return is on the horizon. Ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets, Serge Ibaka was not listed on the injury report, meaning he should be available to play.
