Russell Westbrook is expected to make his Los Angeles Clippers debut Friday against the Sacramento Kings, but this game is bigger than one player.
Supposedly a title contender, the Clippers trail the Kings by 1.5 games for third place in the Western Conference. And while there’s much to be decided in terms of seeding over the next two months, they don’t want to fall too far back with the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks lurking close behind in the fifth and sixth spots.
