Pelicans aim to continue soaring to greater heights in matchup against Clippers

The New Orleans Pelicans will look to take advantage of a wounded Los Angeles Clippers team on their home floor Thursday evening.

Tyronn Lue’s squad has been without Kawhi Leonard (torn right ACL) for the entire season to date and Paul George (torn right UCL) has missed 15 of L.A.’s past 17 contests.

The Clippers are 7-9 this season when they’ve been without both stars.

That mark is a tribute to the rest of their roster and coaching staff, but one wonders how much longer they’ll be able to stay afloat. There’s indications that neither star could return this season, per Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer.
