Granted, this matchup will likely lack the luster of the previous three meetings between the two teams this season, as both squads, especially the Clippers, may be shorthanded.
Lou Williams won’t play after being placed on quarantine for leaving the NBA’s bubble environment. In addition, Montrezl Harrell has yet to return to Orlando, Fla. after leaving on July 17 to deal with an excused family emergency.
Guard Patrick Beverley came back to the bubble on Sunday after a family emergency of his own and is currently under quarantine. He is listed as questionable.
For the Lakers, superstar big man Anthony Davis is dealing with a minor eye injury he sustained in the team’s second scrimmage game on Saturday. However, he said he plans on playing.
