In an ironic twist of fate, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be taking on the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. At the time of writing this, the Darius Garland for James Harden trade has not been made official. As a result, the injury reports still list both players as being on their previous teams. Neither is expected to play.
We’ll likely have to wait until Saturday’s game against the Sacremento Kings to see Harden, but we will see the debuts of Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis. That will have to suffice in the meantime.
