The Clippers were eliminated from the Vegas Summer League tournament yesterday in an ugly 82-69 loss to the Lakers. Rookies Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jerome Robinson sat yesterday, as did standout Vince Hunter, so it wouldn’t be shocking if they sat out this consolation game as well.
Sindarius Thornwell and Jawun Evans have had very inconsistent Summer Leagues, which is not what you want to see from second year players who received fairly significant minutes their rookie seasons. The Clippers could want to play them to hopefully see some improvement, or could just sit them to save any chance of injury.
