LA Clippers Head Coach Tyronn Lue gave the media an update on Kawhi Leonard’s sore right foot, which will have him sidelined for Tuesday night’s matchup against the Indiana Pacers. He s going to be a day to day situation,” Lue said of Leonard during his pregame interview. “He is on the trip, so that s a good sign.
A good sign indeed. The Clippers’ current East Coast road trip is just three games long, consisting of games against the Pacers, the Detroit Pistons and the Philadelphia 76ers. LA should be able to compete with those first two opponents without Leonard, but their superstar will be much needed against the recently returned Joel Embiid and his Eastern Conference-leading Sixers.

LA Clippers All-Star Paul George will miss Wednesday s contest against the Detroit Pistons while he rests on the second night of a back-to-back.
Just one night after recording a near triple-double against the Indiana Pacers in a winning effort, LA Clippers All-Star Paul George will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.
George is a healthy scratch, as the official reason for his absence is rest. However, it would be a stretch to say that George is completely healthy. He s battled a toe injury for a good chunk of the season, and he recently said that it flared up once again.

• After a brief stop at the United Center (and win over the Nets), the Chicago Bulls will now embark on another extended road trip (5 games). Things will tip off tonight against the Indiana Pacers, a team the Bulls beat in OT during their previous matchup to tie the season series. However, despite two prior meetings, Each team will have something new to worry about tonight.
