Ty Lue says that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were “just not quite ready. Today wasn’t the right day (to return)… They definitely want to play.” Lue says after missing 15 months, Kawhi wants to play but team has to be smart. – 6:59 PM

Ty Lue was asked about the consideration of starting John Wall.
“There’s consideration for a lot of things,” he said, but added that Wall’s minutes limit (~26) is a key reason why that move isn’t being made. – 6:52 PM

Asked if there’s any consideration to starting John Wall with his stars out, Ty Lue says, “There’s consideration to a lot of things.” But Lue clarified that with Wall’s minutes restriction, it’s hard to start him. Reggie Jackson shot 1-for-12 today but he also is clearly hobbling – 6:52 PM

Not sure if Reggie Jackson is headed to locker room, but he did not go to bench after subbing out for John Wall.
In meantime, Kings are looking like they’re going to beat the hell out of the Clippers. Up 20-8 already before they even make a sub. 5:06 left in opening quarter – 4:24 PM

Kings coach Mike Brown joked he owes $$ to Clippers coach Ty Lue for hotel rooms he’s secured for him & his family when they visit Vegas. Brown then argued actually that Ty owes him $$ for losing a shooting contest decades ago. Ty said he offered to pay Mike, but he didn’t accept – 3:16 PM

Clippers coach Ty Lue on the Kings: Mike Brown has done a great job with making sure guys are playing faster, getting the ball up the floor and sharing the basketball. They’re buying into things defensively with playing hard and competing every night.” – 3:02 PM

Was curious what happened on the third-quarter play when Ivica Zubac didn’t get the post-up look he wanted and was visibly frustrated, so asked John Wall and Zu about the play and how, in a larger sense, teammates get back on the same page on the fly amid a game. pic.twitter.com/UgGnPaH0ME – 12:51 AM

Not sure if John Wall freelanced there on an iso or not but whatever it was on the play execution, Ivica Zubac turned away from the play looking frustrated, raising his arms. He and Wall just talked. – 10:42 PM

Clippers take a 60-58 halftime lead. It’s the first time they won a 2nd quarter in 9 games.
Clippers also discovering ball control! Season-low 3 turnovers at half, including ZERO in 2nd quarter.
John Wall picking up where Norman Powell left off, outscoring Utah bench 15-14. – 10:12 PM

According to Wall, the bitter truth is that much like other former stars, he too could no longer be in the NBA right now if the cards didn’t fall in his favor (h/t ClutchPoints on Twitter): “I think it’s kind of frustrating for a lot of great veterans we have in this league because a lot of those guys are getting pushed out,” Wall said. “I feel like I was on the edge of kinda getting pushed out myself. If I wasn’t a true professional last year and the Clippers didn’t give me a chance, I don’t know if I’d probably been here right now. “We have so many great guys that can be like (Carmelo Anthony), Dwight [Howard], … even Kemba Walker. … You need veteran guys to help these young teams out as much as possible.” -via Clutch Points / November 19, 2022
