The Los Angeles Clippers suffered their fifth consecutive loss in a 128-127 defeat to the Sacramento Kings, bringing their grand postseason aspirations into question. The Clippers trailed by 13 with just under eight minutes to play, but battled back to take the lead with 34 seconds remaining after a contested layup by Paul George. Norman Powell’s left arm was in a sling for the game, having sustained a subluxation of his left shoulder in the previous match. Powell has suffered from shoulder injuries throughout his career, and his absence is a significant blow to the team. The Clippers were hoping to establish on-court chemistry, but Powell’s injury calls that plan into question.
