So Sad: LA Clippers star Will Miss The Rest of the season due to his horrible injury

LA Clippers Injury Report (Dec. 21): Latest on Kawhi Leonard and James Harden’s status

LA Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard has been one of the most injury prone players in recent NBA history. So, with LA playing the backend of consecutive games on Thursday against the OKC Thunder, Leonard’s injury status was a point of inquiry for fans

Thunder while Paul George will play for the Clippers. James Harden was listed as questionable against the Dallas Mavericks but he started the game. He is also expected to start Thursday.

While Harden scored only 17 points, he had 11 assists to play the perfect second fiddle to Leonard. The Klaw was especially potent in the final quarter, getting to the basket at will and taking the game out of Dallas’ reach

The LA Clippers, however, aren’t without injury concerns. Moussa Diabate is out indefinitely with a hip injury, while Mason Plumlee is out until at least mid-January with a knee injury.

With Leonard missing the game, the onus will be on Paul George and Harden to carry the offensive load against a young OKC team. It should be a fascinating battle between the West’s fourth-placed (Clippers at 17-10) and second-placed (Thunder at 17-8) teams.
