Trey Thompkins (knee) out
Kawhi Leonard (sore knee) out

Kawhi Leonard is a scratch for tonight's game with a sore knee. It's the second game against the Clippers Leonard has missed this season. As it happens, the Spurs have done better this season without Tim Duncan or without Manu Ginobili than they have done without Leonard. San Antonio is 13-6 when they play without Leonard -- which is still great, but they're 30-6 with him.
