So far, there’s no update from the team about his status, so all we can do is wait for more clarity. He was set to be the primary scoring option without Kawhi Leonard tonight. Shortly after he subbed out, Bogdan Bogdanovic knocked down the first three of the game for the Clippers, helping them cap off a 19-6 run to cap off the first half.
