The direction the Los Angeles Clippers are heading is a bit unclear after the team traded James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead of last week's deadline, but any decisions they've made haven't been affected by the league's investigation into Kawhi Leonard and the company he endorsed.

Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson are getting ready to make their Clippers debuts before the All-Star break.

Team president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank provided a timely update on Darius Garland's availability.

The Los Angeles Clippers made some surprising moves at Thursday's NBA trade deadline by shipping away star guard James Harden and veteran center Ivica Zubac, and those deals reportedly influenced teams around the league to check in on their other star.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — To go from being the oldest team in the NBA to a younger version, the Los Angeles Clippers traded away two-fifths of their starting lineup in 11-time All-Star James Harden and Ivica Zubac. The duo was the most reliable and available on the team during their tenures.

The Los Angeles Clippers' impressive climb up the Western Conference standings, from 15 games below .500 to a spot squarely in the play-in tournament, outwardly seemed undone by the jettisoning of James Harden and Ivica Zubac at last week's trade deadline.

The Clippers are still waiting on the results of the NBA's investigation into alleged cap circumvention related to Kawhi Leonard but said the looming decision hasn't impacted "anything that we do."

Kawhi Leonard had 41 points and eight rebounds and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the slumping Minnesota Timberwolves 115-96 on Sunday.
