NBA fans were hoping that Friday night's game between the Golden State Warriors and LA Clippers would be a highly exciting battle between Steph Curry and a returning Kawhi Leonard. Unfortunately, it seems like those hopes won't be happening at all now.

The Clippers beat the Warriors in each of their first two meetings. Los Angeles sits in seventh place at 17-13 despite missing Kawhi Leonard — who won’t debut Friday — all year. Wing Terance Mann is also listed as out with a broken finger.

With Green joining Gary Payton II and Stephen Curry on the sideline, the Warriors will have a thin rotation on Friday in Los Angeles. Dennis Schroder, Buddy Hield, Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga will lead the Warriors against the Clippers.
