Clippers news: Kawhi Leonard gets injury update for game vs. Magic after 8 straight games missed
Leonard suffered a sprained ankle in the fourth quarter of the Clippers' loss against the Miami Heat on November 3, has been out of the lineup with the same injury. As Leonard continues to miss games, the Clippers continue to falter.
By now, it is the biggest open secret in the NBA that the Celtics need some additional heft in their frontcourt to return to contention.
Tyrese Maxey scored 39 points, Paul George had nine points and seven rebounds in his season debut and the Sixers rallied for a victory over the short-handed Clippers.
There is still no clear indication of when Kawhi Leonard might be healthy enough to return, as he is set to miss tomorrow's game as well.
BOTTOM LINE: Orlando hosts Los Angeles aiming to prolong its three-game home winning streak. The Magic are 5-3 in home games. Orlando is fourth in the league with 18.1 fast break points per game led by Franz Wagner averaging 4.5.
