Injury Report: Thunder Remain With Healthy Core Entering Crucial Road Trip
In this story:
Tuesday marks the beginning of a four game road trip for Oklahoma City which includes three games in Los Angeles and one game in Portland.
The Thunder enter the game on a hot streak and coming off a big win over the Suns over the weekend. OKC continues to fight for a playoff spot in the Western Conference, the Thunder are tied with the Timberwolves and the Jazz for the eighth, ninth and tenth position.
OKC remains waiting for the return of Aleksej Pokusevski, who continues to work back from a significant knee injury, though it remains unclear if he’ll return before the end of the regular season. The Thunder do have the main cogs to their rotation healthy and active for the road trip.
The Clippers enter the contest in fifth place in the west but just two and a half games ahead of the Thunder, making Tuesday and Thursday’s game even more crucial. The Clippers enter the game also with healthy star power.
