The Los Angeles Clippers travel to Tennessee Friday night to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies. Both teams have been struggling this season, though the Clippers even more so, but something else the two team's have in common are their extensive injury reports.
For the Clippers, their report doesn't have many new updates with several of their players in the midst of extended stretches of injury, but the one name that has been added is a major player who's been at the center of serious NBA drama for the past week.
One advantage the Clippers have over the Grizzlies is that despite their injuries, their major stars are still in tact. Kawhi Leonard and James Harden will be on the court Friday night while Memphis will have to dig a little deeper into their bench to build their starting five.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (8) goes to the basket between Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (40) and forward Kawhi Leonard (2) and forward Nicolas Batum (33) during the fourth quarter at Intuit Dome. Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn ImagesJordan Miller (back) is QUESTIONABLE to play Friday due to back soreness. Miller was dealing with a back issue that kept him out of seven straight games in late November and he also missed the Clippers' last game, so his continued back troubles leave his status up in the air.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) is OUT for Friday's game due to a left hip contusion. This will be the eighth straight game that Bogdanovic will mis due to his hip.
Bradely Beal (hip) is OUT for Friday's game and the rest of the season with a hip fracture.
Derick Jones Jr. (knee) remains OUT for Friday's game with a right knee sprain. This will be the 10th straight game that Jones Jr. will miss.
Finally, Chris Paul (not with team) will be OUT for Friday's game after being released from the team in the middle of the night on Monday. Paul is still on the roster for the Clippers at the moment, but will likely not be returning for the team in any kind of playing capacity.

Ty Jerome (calf) will also be OUT for Friday's game with a right calf strain. Jerome injured his calf during the preseason and will be out six-nine weeks.
