Clippers forward Marcus Morris (ribs) questionable against Spurs

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (bruised ribs) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday night’s home game versus the San Antonio Spurs. Luke Kennard (right calf soreness) is also listed as questionable.

John Wall (abdominal) remains out indefinitely. Morris has missed only four games this season. During the first quarter of Tuesday night’s 133-115 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, the 12-year veteran exited the game after 10 minutes played due to a rib contusion.

Per a few NBA betting sites, the Clippers possess seventh-best odds to win the championship. Check out which sportsbooks are giving the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors better odds.

Moreover, Luke Kennard has missed the last nine games due a right calf soreness. The Duke product has missed a total of 21 games so far this season. He’s averaging 8.7 points, 2.5 boards, and 1.2 assists per game. Also, the Clippers guard is shooting career bests of 48.9% from the field and 46.2% beyond the arc.

For San Antonio’s injury report, the only players listed as Romeo Langford (leg) and Devin Vassell (knee). While Vassell remains out indefinitely, Langford is questionable for Thursday night’s intraconference matchup.

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are unlisted on the Clippers' injury report tomorrow vs. the Spurs.

They're expected to play their 4th straight game together for the first time this season, and it could come with Luke Kennard's return.
