With the departure of Paul George and the delayed start to Kawhi Leonard’s season, the Clippers needed someone to step up and future Hall-of-Famer Harden has done so on and off the court.
Without Kawhi Leonard or Norman Powell, James Harden tallies 31 points and 11 assists, while Ivica Zubac adds 22 points in 129-111 loss to Indiana.
Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points, James Harden and Norman Powell each had 18 and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Memphis Grizzlies 128-114 on Wednesday night.
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.
Thrust into LA's leadership role this offseason, Harden responded by organizing a minicamp: "He’s all about the team."
Kawhi Leonard has played just15 games for the LA Clippers this season but was available in four of the Clippers' last five games prior to the All-Star break.
