Paul George last appeared on Jan. 5 due to a hamstring strain, having missed each of the team's last nine outings. Meanwhile, Patrick Beverley has been absent for the last three contests due to a groin ailment.
It appears likely that Patrick Patterson and Maurice Harkless would return to bench roles once both players are officially cleared to tale the floor.
George has spent nearly half of his first season in Los Angeles in street clothes. After a stunted beginning to his season due to an offseason shoulder surgery, George has played in just 26 of the team's first 47 games and has averaged 23.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists on a nightly basis.
Beverley, who inked a three-year, $40 million deal to remain with the Clippers back in July, has started all 36 contests that he has played in this season. As has become expected, he has been a menace for the opposition on the defensive end of the floor and is on pace to set a new career high by snatching an average of 6.0 rebounds per contest.
Even with the myriad injuries and ragtag rotations, the Clippers will enter Thursday's game with a 33-14 record, which could potentially leave them in sole possession of second place in the Western Conference. The team has continued to discuss its championship aspirations, the majority of which begin by getting their entire starting unit on the floor and healthy.
