The Los Angeles Clippers are in an unfamiliar position after losing consecutive games for the first time this season.
The Clippers aim to get back on track Wednesday night when they play the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis in the opener of a two-game trip.
Los Angeles lost 119-115 to the Boston Celtics on Friday and 113-110 to the Sacramento Kings two nights later. Both defeats came with six-time All-Star Paul George sitting out with a bone marrow edema in his right big toe.
"He's a little disappointed, you know, because ... especially the way he's been playing and the things he's been doing for this team, but it is what happens," Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said.
