The LA Clippers have been one of the more impressive Western Conference teams to start the NBA season. While their 9-7 record doesn’t jump off the page, their win profile includes some impressive victories, and all of them have come without Kawhi Leonard.

The Clippers are playing their first home NBA Cup game on Friday against the Sacramento Kings, and Leonard has again been ruled out due to injury management.
