How to Watch Clippers-Thunder Game On Tuesday
While both teams will be dealing with key injuries on Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Clippers will still be taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder in a game that we will likely see both teams go deep into their bench for.
Fresh off of their win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, the Clippers now head to Oklahoma City to take on a young Thunder team that is coming off of a loss at home on Sunday to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Thunder are still searching for their first win on the new campaign.
While Kawhi Leonard is back this season and not listed on the team’s injury report heading into this game, Los Angeles will be without two starters in Paul George, who has a non-COVID illness, and Marcus Morris Sr., who is not with the team for this game due to personal reasons.
On the other side of the court, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will miss his second consecutive game with a left hip contusion and Josh Giddey will miss his first game of the season due to a sprained right ankle.
Los Angeles is one of the more experienced and older teams in the NBA, while Oklahoma City is one of the less-experienced, younger teams in the entire league. You never know what can happen in the NBA on any given night and while they are heavy underdogs in this game, the Thunder and their plethora of youth could be motivated to get their first win of the season against an older, banged up Clippers squad.
The 2022-23 NBA season has begun and here is how to watch Tuesday’s game with gametimes and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
