There is less than one month until the 2020-21 NBA season tips off, and for now, it’s a good time to relive one of the more enjoyable Clippers wins in recent history.
On this day last year, the Clippers playing the Grizzlies on Thanksgiving Eve, on the second game of a back-to-back after comfortably winning in Dallas the night before. Kawhi Leonard was sitting out, as was his pattern in consecutive games last season, so the team had Rodney McGruder starting in his place. Alas, McGruder went down in the third quarter with a thigh injury, and the Clippers were already without Landry Shamet due to an ankle sprain.
