It’ll be their first meeting of the season.
The Golden State Warriors — sans Chris Paul, who was diagnosed with a lower left leg nerve contusion (day-to-day), and Gary Payton II, who was diagnosed with a torn right calf (out indefinitely) — are set to face the Los Angeles Clippers in Chase Center for a Pacific Division showdown.
Both the Warriors and the Clippers are out of the In-Season Tournament. The Warriors (8-10) are looking to bounce back after losing a nailbiter to the Sacramento Kings. The Clippers (8-9) are on the second night of a back-to-back after walloping the Kings last night, 131-117.
