Norman Powell had a scary collision against the Sacramento Kings last night that left many Clippers fans worried about his injury status tonight against the Warriors. Ty Lue mentioned after the game that Powell would be re-evaluated, and fortunately, the Clippers have a diagnosis for him now.
The LA Clippers have officially listed Norman Powell as questionable tonight with a right knee contusion.
It's great to see that Powell isn't already immediately listed as out, but he's definitely had a limp in the past few games that looks painful. Last night after the win against the Kings, Powell had a brace on his knee and walked with a limp. On Monday night after the Nuggets game, Powell also had a small limp after the game.
If Norman Powell isn't significantly injured and it's more of a pain tolerance situation, he may need to just get a slight rest for his knee. It may be in the Clippers' best interest to play Bones Hyland or Amir Coffey if Powell needs to take some time off tonight. Especially, because the Clippers have another game against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
The LA Clippers face off against the Golden State Warriors tonight at 10:00 p.m. EST. Whether or not Norman Powell plays remains to be seen, but it's great to see that his injury isn't serious.
