10+3! Second injury causes him to go down! This is the Clippers' key forward.

In Zubac's comeback match, the Clippers failed to secure their seventh consecutive victory, suffering a big defeat to the Celtics 115-146.

Although it's awkward, we can't put all the blame for the loss on Zubac, who played off the bench; here are the Clippers' team stats:

The Celtics' stats are as follows:

It's very clear that the Celtics' fierce offense overwhelmed the Clippers, hitting 24 of 51 three-pointers, an accuracy rate of about 47%,with Jaylen Brown shooting 18 of 26 (6 of 10 from three), efficiently scoring 50 points along with 3 rebounds and 5 assistscompletely dominating Leonard on all fronts.

Notably, according to Celtics head coach Mazula, Jaylen Brown volunteered to guard Leonard, limiting him to just 6 made shots out of 17 attempts and only 22 points, while Leonard had averaged 39 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.7 steals, and 1.5 blocks with shooting percentages of 53%, 44%, and 94% during the Clippers' six-game winning streak.

So far this season, Jaylen Brown has averaged 33.9 minutes, contributing 30.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, with shooting percentages of 51%, 37%, and 77.9%; both his scoring and assists per game are career highs, leading the Celtics to currently hold third place in the East with a 22-12 record, proving his Finals MVP title is well deserved.

If Tatum, who suffered a right Achilles tendon rupture in mid-May last year, can truly return this season, the Celtics might still contend for the Eastern Conference title this year, as their main rivals could be only the Pistons and Knicks.

Back to the Clippers, currently ranked 12th in the West with a 12-22 record, three wins behind the 10th place Grizzlies, and now with Little Jones injured again... According to the Clippers' official statement,Little Jones' current right knee injury is on the same knee he hurt last time in Boston (November 17).

Last time Little Jones injured his knee, he rested for over a month, but after only four games back, he may face another long-term absence; this season, he has averaged 24.1 minutes, with 10.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 40% and making 1.3 three-pointers per game.
