Clippers vs Hornets: Injury Report
Mason Plumlee won’t be available when the LA Clippers face the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. The veteran big man continues to be out after sustaining an MCL sprain earlier this season, which forced the Clippers to make a move to acquire Daniel Theis.
However, Paul George is set to play the Hotneys. The veteran wing has been playing at an elite level this season, averaging 22.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists, shooting 45.6% and 40.2% from the 3-point range.
The Clippers will be sweating on the availability of Kawhi Leonard, though. The former NBA champion missed the loss to the Boston Celtics and is questionable heading into the Hornets game. LA needs both of their star wings to be fit and ready to play if they want to continue proving themselves as potential championship contenders.
Nevertheless, Ty Lue will have George, James Harden and Russell Westbrook available in his rotation, giving him three future Hall of Famers to choose from. As such, the Clippers should have more than enough talent at their disposal to overcome a struggling Hornets team.
Furthermore, Charlotte will be missing LaMelo Ball, which should also give the Clippers a significant edge.
