The 76ers travel to Crypto.com Arena to take on the Clippers on Tuesday night.

Philly star Joel Embiid had 35 points and 11 rebounds in the win over the Lakers, including a defensive play to disrupt a potential game-winning shot by Russell Westbrook in the final seconds.
The Clippers on the other hand are in a slump, having lost seven of their last nine. Paul George has been sidelined for the last five games, and as yet, no timeline has been given on the seven-time All-Star's return.
George is not the only injury problem for the Clippers. They are also dealing with injuries to Luke Kennard (calf), Moussa Diabate (non-COVID illness), and John Wall (abdominal strain).
With so many players out, Kawhi Leonard was forced to shoulder a huge load in the Clippers' most recent 121-100 win over the Rockets. Leonard finished with 30 points, six rebounds, and four assists in 32 minutes.
Leonard is still recovering from knee surgery to repair a partially torn ACL that kept him out all of last season. So far this season the Clippers have been cautious in handling the availability of the two-time NBA Finals MVP.
Will Leonard be available for the showdown against Embiid and the 76ers on Tuesday? The Sporting News has the latest news on the All-Star forward's injury status below.
