The Los Angeles Clippers will be without several key players when they face the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, dealing with a growing list of injuries that has kept them from reaching full strength all season.

Jones Jr. Awaits Imaging Results

Forward Derrick Jones Jr. will miss Monday's game with what the team is calling "right knee soreness," and the Clippers are waiting on imaging results to get a better sense of how long Jones Jr. might be sidelined.

APHoops (@APH00PS) on X Derrick Jones Jr. is listed as OUT for tonight’s game against Philadelphia with “right knee soreness”, per @LawMurrayTheNU. If the injury designation is accurate, Jones Jr. caught a huge break.

His absence creates another hole in Los Angeles's rotation, forcing head coach Tyronn Lue to shuffle his lineups yet again.

Jones Jr. has been a solid part of the Clippers' rotation when healthy, but the team has struggled to keep players on the court consistently.

The 4-9 Clippers have dealt with injury concerns all season long, making it hard to build any real flow or chemistry.

Leonard Remains Out

Kawhi Leonard continues to sit out as he works his way back from injury. The star forward's absence has been felt throughout the early part of the season, as the Clippers try to stay competitive in a tough Western Conference.

Without Leonard anchoring their defense and providing scoring punch, Los Angeles has struggled to find its identity.

The Clippers knew they were taking on injury risk when they built their roster around veteran stars, but losing Leonard for an extended stretch has made life difficult for a team with championship hopes.

Miller Sidelined with Hamstring Issue

Guard Jordan Miller is also out with hamstring soreness. Miller's absence takes away another rotation option for the Clippers, who have been searching for consistent production from their bench all season.

The young guard has shown promise in limited minutes so far, but now he'll need time to recover before he can get back on the court.

Bogdanovic's Status Crucial

The most important injury designation might be Bojan Bogdanovic, who is listed as questionable with left hip soreness. Bogdanovic has played in each of the Clippers' past few games and has provided valuable shooting and scoring off the bench.

His ability to stretch the floor and create offense has been important for a team that needs all the help it can get with so many players out.

If Bogdanovic can't play, it would be another blow to the Clippers' depth. The veteran sharpshooter has been a steady presence when available, and losing him would force even more pressure on James Harden and the remaining healthy players to carry the load.

George Makes Return Against Former Team

Adding drama to Monday's matchup, Paul George is set to make his season debut for the 7-5 76ers. George underwent knee surgery in the offseason and has missed Philadelphia's first dozen games while working his way back to full strength.

The nine-time All-Star will now face his former team for the first time since leaving the Clippers in free agency.

Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) on X Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George is expected to make his season debut at home tonight against his former team, the Los Angeles Clippers, sources tell ESPN. George has rehabilitated offseason left knee surgery.

George's return gives the 76ers a major boost as they look to build on their solid start. The veteran forward brings scoring, defense, and playmaking to a Philadelphia team that has managed well without him but will be even better with him in the lineup.

For the Clippers, facing George and a healthier 76ers squad while dealing with their own injury problems makes Monday's game even tougher. Los Angeles needs to find answers quickly if they want to turn their season around.
