The Lakers are still shorthanded but the best news for the game vs. Clippers comes from their rival

The 2023-24 NBA season hasn't been going like the LA Lakers expected as they are currently sitting in the 9th seed with only 23 games left in the campaign and their next contest will be the latest Battle for LA of the year, at least in the regular season.

The Lakers will be missing Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood, and Jarred Vanderbilt for the game against the Clippers, but there is some good news as one of the best players of their rival won't be playing this Wednesday night.

The LA Clippers have announced that Paul George, because of a knee injury, won't be playing tomorrow night against the LA Lakers in the latest Battle for LA edition.

Alongside this news, the Lakers player Cam Reddish practiced today and is looking like he will be nearing his return, hopefully, it could be for tomorrow's contest as the team needs more defensive players like him.

Max Christie is practicing to play more minutes and help the team

Max Christie has been working hard on 3s post-practice as he is looking to get a bigger role with the team and help in what has been a weak spot for the team during season long and beyond.
