Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac ruled out against Boston

January 21, 2025 by Hoops Hype

Law Murray: Clippers are holding Kawhi Leonard out on front end of back-to-back tomorrow vs Celtics, and Ivica Zubac (eye) also is not ready to return. All of James Harden, Norman Powell, Kris Dunn, and Nicolas Batum are questionable. Clippers play 4th game in 5 nights Thursday vs Wizards.

Did a breakdown of Kawhi Leonard and his recent game vs. the Lakers over on the YouTube channel for today.
Why Kawhi (when healthy) is still one of the best players on the planet, and why I think we somehow still underrate his value as a player.

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Tonight’s loss without him is a good reminder that Ivica Zubac has been by far the Clippers’ best player this season. – 3:35 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Bulls snap 4-game Clippers win streak and their 5-game losing streak with a 112-99 win
Zach LaVine was great: 35 points, 11/21 FGs, 5/12 3s, 8/10 FTs
Clippers missed Ivica Zubac badly, allowing 17 offensive rebounds. But they just had an awful shooting night.
Celtics Wednesday – 12:58 AM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White out vs Clippers. Leonard and Zubac out for LAC. Expect Vooch and Zach to have huge games. 9:15 pre @670TheScore – 9:49 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Ivica Zubac said last night that this was the play where he got hit in the eye vs Lakers.
Has been a rock this season, starting every game and playing at least 22 minutes all 41 times.
Mo Bamba and Kai Jones have yet to reach 18 minutes in any game this season. pic.x.com/i5iO9WdCUl – 4:13 PM

Janis Carr @janiscarr
No Kawhi. No Zu. A few others are iffy. pic.x.com/ljADcsM0GW – 4:08 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
So, um, Kawhi Leonard has looked really good the last 2 games… – 3:10 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Kawhi is 4-1 with Clippers this season. Preseason just about over. pic.x.com/LTUGGLBa1j – 11:40 PM

Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Ivica Zubac wasn’t just, IMO, the player of the game for the Clippers. He thoroughly outplayed Anthony Davis and the Lakers rarely win games where AD gets bested by his direct matchup. AK – 11:38 PM
Janis Carr @janiscarr
After playing another 24 minutes Sunday, Kawhi will sit out vs Chicago on Monday – 11:34 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Kawhi out vs Bulls – 11:25 PM
StatMuse @statmuse
Zubac today:
21 PTS
19 REB (8 OREB)
3 BLK
Clippers are 7-0 when Zubac has a 20/15 game. pic.x.com/0yLzQP6FEe – 11:17 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Christian Koloko and Bronny James in the game with 100 seconds left 🏳
Ivica Zubac is sitting with 21 points and 19 rebounds smh – 11:14 PM
StatMuse @statmuse
The Clippers are 4-1 with Kawhi. pic.x.com/i2YUhqZ1Xj – 11:13 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
JJ Redick takes timeout he was going to lose in 15 seconds
Clippers up 108-93. They also have an extra timeout that disappears, if they want to use it.
Choppy non-Kawhi offense tonight, but this defense came into tonight 2nd behind only the Thunderbuddies and have stood firm – 11:08 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers took an offensive nap to end third quarter, failing to make a field goal in last 3.5 minutes of period while Lakers closed on a 13-2 run
Final quarter of play and Clippers still lead 92-77. Kawhi Leonard likely at limit and leads team with 19 points on 9/13 FGs – 10:45 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
If Kawhi Leonard is done at 24:17:
– 19 points (9/13 FGs)
– 4 assists (1 turnover)
– 1 steal
+20 – 10:37 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Another 7-0 Clippers run. Their attention to detail in third quarters this week, with and without Kawhi, has been turned up significantly.
86-64 Clippers lead with 16:29 left to play – 10:35 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
8-0 Clippers run and then a Derrick Jones Jr. 3 gives Clippers 75-54 lead with 20:33 left to play
A point per minute basically.
Clippers have multiple incentives to keep B2A and get this game overwith, namely Kawhi minute restriction and tomorrow’s visit from Bulls. – 10:26 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Kawhi catches basketballs like they’re softballs – 9:50 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Ivica Zubac starting to put some loud blocks together. – 9:43 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Starting lineups in Inglewood
Lakers: Reaves/Christie/Hachimura/James/Davis
Clippers: Harden/Powell/Jones Jr./Leonard/Zubac
Most importantly
CAM CHRISTIE ACTIVE – 8:34 PM
