A new wrinkle has been added to the "Battle of Los Angeles."
Ahead of Wednesday night's matchup against the Lakers, the Clippers acquired former MVP James Harden in a trade with the 76ers. The deal shook up the Clippers' roster, as the team added Harden and P.J. Tucker and sent out Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington, Marcus Morris and Kenyon Martin Jr. The Clippers also included multiple draft assets in their trade package.

Unfortunately for the Clippers, Harden will not be available to play in the latest game between the LA rivals. The team is targeting a Monday debut against the Knicks, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Even with Harden out, though, there will still be plenty of star power. When LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George take the floor, it's always a can't-miss event.
