The abomination that was the refereeing at the end of the Sixers/Clippers game on March 27 means the Sixers will need to be in the Play-In. Nice work, everyone – 3:12 PM

Asked Tyronn Lue about Clippers waiving Josh Primo and signing Kai Jones
On Primo: “He has a great upside, a great future”
On Jones: “Just something a little different than we have on our roster now” pic.twitter.com/RFBA9qkDaT – 2:54 PM

Here is Tyronn Lue responding to @BA_Turner pregame, RE: Kawhi Leonard
Just some background
Kawhi had a knee flare up in October 2022, 2 games after his return from ACL. Missed 25 days. Same timeline would obviously affect start of postseason.
We’ll see how practice goes. pic.twitter.com/3KA6MY9evY – 2:41 PM

Tyronn Lue says that Kawhi Leonard will not play today, has been doing some things in workouts
Will not commit to Leonard being ready for Game 1 even though it appears he is trending in the right direction. – 1:52 PM

Clippers’ Mason Plumlee spoke to @Sportskeeda on why he didn’t think he came back too early from injury, how Kawhi/PG/Russ/Harden have fit together & why he’s “very comfortable” about the Clippers’ direction entering the playoffs bit.ly/4aA3j95 – 12:28 PM
