With the presence of the players constantly inside and outside the squad, Clippers are struggling to find fixed success at this stage of the season.
The return of Kawahi Leonard (right knee management), Derik Jones Junior (right thigh strain) was confirmed, along with the absence of Norman Powell (right knee strain) and Bin Simons (left knee management) Friday night has confirmed the scope of the problem.

After two nights of scoring 50 points, Harden made another offer, as he finished 27 points and seven passes in the 105-95 victory over New York Nix at the Intuit Dome.
Harden was not alone in the victory. Leonard got 20 points, seven rebound balls and six decisive passes in 37 minutes, and Evica Zobak ended with 16 points and 14 rebounds. The prominent center has the best 763 rebounds this season.
Nicholas Batom, who started in his fourth match only, got 17 points per season, and Bogdan Bogdanovich was 12 rebounds from the seat.
Gallin Bronson did not play in New York (40-23) due to the right ankle twisting. The All-Star goalkeeper, who was injured in an extra Thursday to Lakers, is seventh in the American Professional League in scoring (26.3 points for each game) and the seventh in passes (7.4).
Cleibers (34-29) won two consecutive since the fall of six of seven. They are ranked eighth in the Western conference with 19 games.
“Just take it day after day,” said Cleibers coach Tirion Louis before the match. “We have a shooting, we wander, and benefit from it only, although men cannot pass at full speed.
Clippers face a critical extension of games. They host Sacramento on Sunday, with the kings only half of them, before they play New Orleans, Miami and Atlanta on the road.
