The Latest Breaking News from Clippers

Here's all you need to know ahead of Wednesday's Lakers versus Clippers game.

Is it too early to be concerned?

The Clippers' stalwart point guard whipped out an invisible dictionary.

The star forward has missed substantial time over the past few years, and has played in just two of the Clippers’ nine games this season due to a lingering knee issue.

SAN ANTONIO — For eight minutes Friday, the Clippers played like the team that left training camp openly declaring its championship aspirations — their long-armed defenders forcing consecutive stops on one end, their litany of shooters blowing open a lead with ruthless efficiency on the other.

“It’s been frustrating, but a learning lesson at the end of the day,” says Jalen Green, whose #Rockets fell to 1-8. “We are still young and still growing. It is all experience.”

The stands weren't close to full Wednesday, this city's attention drawn more to the hometown Astros' World Series appearance than early November basketball. The loudest Toyota Center cheers were sparked between the third and fourth quarters by the scoreboard showing an Astros lead in Philadelphia.

The #Rockets lost again to Paul George and the Clippers, but Jalen Green snapped his shooting slump and Alperen Sengun had a big night inside (26 points, 13 rebounds).

If the #Rockets want to flip the result in Wednesday’s rematch with the Clippers in Houston, better defense on Paul George (35 points, 57.7% FG on Monday) is a clear priority.
