On March 3, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Clippers ended their 2-game losing streak with a big win over the Wizards in the last game, and then they will also usher in back-to-back battles, opponents are the Timberwolves and Bucks, which are still a little difficult. Before the game, the Clippers updated the injury report, in which Wei Shao missed the game for the first time this season, and the whole team was not affected, and all of them prepared easily.
The Clippers updated their injury report, in which Wei Shao missed for the first time this season, and suffered a fractured left hand in the last game against the Wizards, which also means that he will be out for a while. In addition, this is also the first time that Wei Shao has missed a game since joining the Clippers, and the attendance rate is still very high. Harden joined the team this season, and Wei Shao also took the initiative to choose to sacrifice as a backup guard, even if the playing time was reduced, but he didn't care too much, and he became a strong contender for the best sixth man.
In addition to Wei Shao's absence, Zubac on the inside is still on the doubtful list, he is ill, and he was also absent from the last game. Judging from the training photos posted by the team, he still has a chance to play, and he also travels with the team to Minnesota. The Timberwolves faced this time also have the twin towers of Gobert and Towns, and Zubac's role is still very great, as long as he can play, the interior line will not be at an absolute disadvantage.
The team suffered injuries, but fortunately, the internal atmosphere was not affected, and it was still very happy, among which the big three of Leonard, George and Harden were all smiling and preparing for the game with a relaxed face. In the last game against the Wizards, the trio broke out in the first three quarters, with Harden scoring 21 points in the second quarter to build an early lead and win a big victory. And then they have a difficult task, it depends on whether they can withstand this period of time, and at the same time keep the squad intact.
The Clippers will face the Timberwolves, the No. 1 team in the West, in their next game, which is also a good opportunity for them to close the gap, but they have lost all of their first three games against the Timberwolves this season, and this is also the last chance for revenge, depending on whether they can take it. The Timberwolves have a 42-18 record and are in first place in the West, three wins ahead of the Clippers.
