Meanwhile, Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers have also been doing better than expected, at 31-23. Given that both of these teams have similar records, this is expected to be a close game. Fans might be interested in finding out more about the injury status of the stars on both sides, as well as the lineups that the teams are expected to showcase.
Kawhi Leonard Listed as Questionable for Clippers vs. Pacers
Clippers fans will be disappointed to hear that Leonard doesn’t look fully healthy for this matchup against the Pacers. His health has been an issue throughout this season and has led to James Harden taking charge of the team.
Leonard has played in just 16 games so far this season and is listed as questionable due to left foot soreness.
