The LA Clippers are in good shape for a team that hasn’t had its two stars for the majority of the season: they’re just two games under .500 with a record of 29-31, which, this season, is good enough for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. That being said, there’s still a high level of anticipation surrounding the statuses of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.
Leonard, who re-signed with the Clippers on a four-year, $176.3 million contract in August, has yet to play this season after he underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in July.
