Despite playing the entire season without star Kawhi Leonard and missing Paul George for significant time, the 2021-22 Los Angeles Clippers displayed remarkable resilience to finish with a winning 42-40 record. Under the leadership of head coach Tyronn Lue, the team remained highly competitive in the Western Conference, finishing eighth and securing a spot in the play-in tournament. The season was highlighted by the strong play of Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris Sr., along with a historic 35-point comeback victory against the Washington Wizards that showcased the group's unwavering grit and depth. A nine-time NBA All-Star and elite two-way forward, Paul George is a premier scorer and defender who led the Indiana Pacers to consecutive Eastern Conference Finals and the Los Angeles Clippers to their first Western Conference Finals in franchise history.
