The concern was very present on the Clippers side after the fall of Mason Plumlee during the last game played at the Garden against the Knicks. After a collision on the left leg with Julius Randle, Ivica Zubac’s back-up collapsed and had to be carried by two members of staff to leave the field during the third quarter.
ESPN confirmed that the first diagnoses were pointing towards a sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee and that the pivot would return to Los Angeles to undergo further examinations. What is certain is that Plumlee will not be able to take part in the end of the Clippers’ road trip, to Brooklyn this evening then to Dallas on Friday.
Ivica Zubac alone
If the injury affects the weakest position in Tyronn Lue’s squad, the recent arrival of PJ Tucker alongside James Harden should allow the Clippers coach to tinker urgently to support Ivica Zubac in 5. This absence could also benefit the Frenchman Moussa Diabate.
Hit in the ankle, Terance Mann could however make his return this Wednesday in Brooklyn, a meeting for which he was listed as “uncertain”.
