The LA Clippers face off against the Miami Heat today in what should be a very entertaining game with all of the major stars playing.
The Clippers have two players listed on their injury report: Ivica Zubac and Moussa Diabate. Ivica Zubac has been upgraded as questionable after suffering a right calf strain that was initially expected to keep him out for at least a month. Moussa Diabate is out with a right-hand metacarpal fracture. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook are all listed as available against the Heat.
The Miami Heat have four players listed on their injury report: Duncan Robinson, Dru Smith, Jamal Cain, and R.J. Hampton. Duncan Robinson is out due to concussion protocol, Dru Smith is out due to right knee surgery, Jamal Cain is questionable due to an illness, and R.J. Hampton is out due to a G League two-way. Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Terry Rozier are all listed as available against the Clippers.
It’s been four years since Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler have played against each other, and that rare opportunity is what’ll make today’s game even more special. While the Miami Heat were recently on a losing streak, they’ve found themselves back on a two-game winning streak. It’s going to be an absolute battle between the Clippers and Heat today.
