LA Clippers Coach Reveals Injury Update on Star Player

Following a disappointing offseason that saw the Los Angeles Clippers bid farewell to the Paul George-Kawhi Leonard era, it seemed as if the Clippers' only real scoring threat this season would be an aging James Harden. Through 15 games this season, a new star has emerged for the Clippers despite being over the age of 30.

After stints with the Toronto Raptors and Portland Trail Blazers, Norman Powell joined the Clippers via trade in 2022 and has primarily served as a key reserve for the team. Now in his fourth year with the team, he's emerged as a star averaging a career-high 23.3 points per game. However, a recent injury will sideline him for the next two games.

Norman Powell will be out for tonight's game and also on Friday. Tyronn Lue says the Clippers "will see from there" afterward.

Ahead of tonight's game versus the Orlando Magic, head coach Tyronn Lue announced that Norman Powell will miss the next two contests with a hamstring injury. Lue said he will see after Friday what to do from there, as the Clippers will begin a four-game round trip on Sunday to end off the month.
