James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers have been one of the bigger surprises of the 2024-25 NBA season. Even without Kawhi Leonard for a majority of their games, the Clippers have managed a 24-19 record, good for sixth place in the West.

Leonard has played just five games this season, as star guards James Harden and Norman Powell have had to carry the offense on their backs. Both Harden and Powell are having All-Star-caliber seasons and have played huge roles in LA's success.

The Los Angeles Clippers will be taking on their rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers, and they may be without a few of their key players.

Law Murray of The Athletic relayed Harden's probable status after having predicted a potential "mass rest day" for the Clippers against Chicago. Harden has appeared in 39 of his team's 41 games this season, with Clippers head coach Ty Lue saying he always wants to suit up.
