The Clippers are in danger of falling into the Western Conference play-in tournament amid a 3-5 stretch. Tyronn Lue's squad ranks 16th in offense and 19th in defense during that span. Los Angeles allowed the Indiana Pacers to score 129 points on 46-of-84 (54.8 percent) with 31 assists and 12 turnovers during a blowout loss on Sunday.
With their latest acquisition, the Los Angeles Clippers have heightened expectations from their fanbase. Weighing in on the move, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard shared their thoughts on the newcomer’s arrival.
James Harden, Ivica Zubac, and Kawhi Leonard spoke highly of Terance Mann after he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks from the LA Clippers.
The Indiana Pacers beat the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday and were able to mitigate some of the damage from one of the league's best players.
Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, Feb. 23. As the 2024-2025 NBA regular season continues, teams across the league are fighting for a spot in the playoffs.
Kawhi Leonard (25 points) and James Harden (24) help establish a 13-point, fourth-quarter lead, but Milwaukee rallies for a 116-110 win with Giannis Antetokounmpo on the bench late.
Thrust into LA's leadership role this offseason, Harden responded by organizing a minicamp: "He’s all about the team."
The Clippers aren't a scrappy underdog now. They're in the top six in the West, with a host of teams trying to chase them down.
