Entering this 2021-22 season, the Los Angeles Clippers were already a depleted team due to the torn ACL injury Kawhi Leonard sustained in the playoffs last year.

The Charlotte Hornets are having an interesting year that sees them currently sitting at 18-17 on the season and in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
