Clippers injury report for Black Friday is unchanged from yesterday.
Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Luke Kennard, and the Ontario trio are out vs Nuggets.

If you thought Paul George’s absence meant a flood of buckets from Kawhi Leonard, then you thought wrong.
Since Leonard returned, he has a 13:1 assist to turnover ratio. Foes have found it hard to score. And the Clippers’ offense is 📈

Just finished up LAC-UTA:
-Gonna need to see more playmaking from Sexton and Clarkson while Conley is out. They put too much of that on the bigs.
-Clips PGs got wherever they wanted all game. Nice passing game from Kawhi too.
-Really fun game between two teams playing well. – 11:19 AM

LA beats Jazz 121-114 after losing 17-point lead.
30 for Norman Powell, 27 for Reggie Jackson. Another single-digit game for Kawhi Leonard, but he was a +12. His health bears watching, as usual.
26:16 assist-TO ratio for LA.

Jazz take control of the game by beating the Clippers in possession game. They have 6 more offensive rebounds and 3 more takeaways entering 4th quarter, now lead 93-88 after outscoring LA by 15 points in 3rd quarter. 12 of that came with Kawhi on bench.

+/- superstar Kawhi Leonard is a +11 at halftime.
The usual high floor that we’ve seen from Kawhi so far. Low volume (2 points, 1/4 FGs, 0/1 3s, no FTs), 2 assists, no turnovers.
5 Clippers have more shot attempts than Leonard at halftime. – 11:39 PM
