Paul is a player the Clippers desperately need to remain healthy as health issues have haunted him in the past. With the Clippers struggling out of the gates this season, currently sitting at a disappointing 10-9 record, having their leader Paul is crucial to the club turning this ship around.

The Clippers next game will be against the Orlando Magic in Los Angeles Saturday night at 7:30 PST. The Clippers are coming off a loss to the Pacers as they entered Staples on a 5 game winning streak.

The Magic are on a five game winning streak if their own.
