Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times confirmed the news.

Update on Chris Paul now is that he won’t play tonight. Did some stuff on locker room Clippers don’t like CP response

The Clippers will most likely start Austin Rivers or Raymond Felton in the back-court with Paul being out. With Blake Griffin and Paul out it is a good night for them to rest.

The Lakers have lost 12 of their last 13 games. D’Angelo Russell will get a chance to showcase his skills back at Staples after the Lakers have been on the road for the Grammy Trip.
