The LA Clippers take on the Philadelphia 76ers in what could be a game with several layers of bad blood. There is the layer of James Harden against his former team and the layer of Paul George against his former team.

The Clippers and 76ers have underperformed this early in the regular season and both teams could really use a victory tonight. In the case of the 76ers, they missed Paul George and Joel Embiid for almost the entire season. For the Clippers, they have missed Kawhi Leonard all season and they will miss him tonight.

The LA Clippers have officially listed Kawhi Leonard on the injury report as out against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right knee injury.

Earlier this week, Clippers head coach Ty Lue revealed that Kawhi Leonard would not play this week, which included games against the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors.

Before getting injured last season, Kawhi Leonard averaged 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists on 53/42/89 shooting from the field. It was an incredibly efficient season from Leonard, in which he played in 68 games.

There’s still no return date for when Kawhi Leonard will play basketball again, but the Clippers still need to move forward. With a record of 3-4, and winning tonight would be huge for morale.
