Updated Injury Report: LA Clippers vs. New Orleans Pelicans

The LA Clippers are set to take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night in a game that is very important in the Western Conference standings. The Clippers are looking to secure home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, while also fighting off teams in the play-in picture that are gunning for a spot in the top-6. The Pelicans are one of those teams looking to remain in the playoff picture, as they currently sit in ninth place.

Ahead of this contest in Los Angeles, the Pelicans are expected to make an update to their initial injury report, as sharp shooting wing Trey Murphy expects to be upgraded from questionable to available. According to The Athletic's Will Guillory, Murphy is feeling good and expects to play:

Murphy being in the lineup gives New Orleans another weapon on both ends. While the Pelicans are still shorthanded without Zion Williamson, the Clippers remain shorthanded as well, with Paul George recently hitting the injury list with a knee sprain.

There is a good chance the Clippers are without George for the remainder of the regular season, and potentially the postseason as well if the Clippers do not make a deep enough run. Every game is crucial between now and the end of the regular season, and that is especially true for both the Clippers and the Pelicans. This game on Saturday night is no exception, as both teams need to stack wins.
