Chris Paul has been ruled out of the game due to health and safety protocols, while Kawhi Leonard did not travel with the Clippers due to a knee injury. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks take on the Philadelphia 76ers after losing to them in a sometimes-chippy Game Six, which featured an oncourt altercation between Joel Embiid and John Collins.
