The Los Angeles Clippers have had some big losses this season. First, they lost Kawhi Leonard to an ACL injury. Then, they lost another player, Paul George after he injured his elbow. Hence, things should be rough in their camp. However, they held well but crumbled late in their recent loss to the Denver Nuggets. Moreover, one of their players may have got the easiest rebound of his career.

The team has done a great job of holding up without their star power. Notably, Paul George led the way for them as he was playing at an MVP level. Despite not having Kawhi, they have done well so far this season with many players stepping their game up.
