Injury Report: LA Clippers vs Houston Rockets
After an incredibly embarrassing loss against the shorthanded Milwaukee Bucks, the LA Clippers are looking to redeem themselves against a Houston Rockets team that's on the second night of a back-to-back.
The Clippers only have one player listed on their injury report: Russell Westbrook. Westbrook is out with a left-hand fracture that he suffered against the Washington Wizards and will return at some point in the season before the NBA Playoffs. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and James Harden are all listed as available against the Houston Rockets.
The Houston Rockets have six players listed on their injury report: Steven Adams, Tari Eason, Jeff Green, Nate Hinton, Jermaine Samuels Jr., and Jabari Smith Jr. Steven Adams is out due to right knee PCL surgery, Tari Eason is out due to left tibia surgery, Jeff Green is questionable due to left knee pain, Nate Hinton is out due to a G League two-way, Jermaine Samuels Jr. is out due to a G League two-way, and Jabari Smith Jr. is questionable due to an illness.
The last time these two teams faced off, the Clippers were on a six-game losing streak and narrowly escaped the Houston Rockets after a miracle James Harden four-point play. While the Clippers haven't been playing as poorly as they did during the last encounter, they haven't been playing great basketball as of late. Tonight's game against the Houston Rockets isn't going to be an easy one.
The LA Clippers and Houston Rockets face off at 7:30 p.m. EST tonight.
