Clippings: How the Clippers are adjusting without players in the bubble

When the NBA announced that it would resume the 2019-20 season, the Clippers thought that this would finally be their chance to practice and play with their fully healthy roster after a season constantly interrupted by injury.

Unfortunately, the restart has been as tumultuous for the Clippers as the pre-hiatus portion of the season. Multiple players arrived late to the bubble, and three had to leave Orlando for family emergencies, leaving the Clippers consistently shorthanded, both in practice and in scrimmages.

The team can’t go as hard in practice without a full complement of players, making it difficult to execute plays and schemes at full speed.
