The marquee matchup between the Lakers and Clippers will look vastly different than we thought it would even 48 hours ago. The Clippers finally made the blockbuster trade for James Harden but still do not have those players available and Los Angeles has key injuries to rotation players.
Rui Hachimura is dealing with a left eye contusion and will miss his second game in a row. Gabe Vincent is now listed as doubtful on the team’s injury report, suffering from left knee soreness. Due to these injuries, Colin Castleton, Alex Fudge and D’Moi Hodge are available to play.
