James Harden is sidelined owing to "personal reasons" and the veteran point guard will miss his first game of the season. He led the Clippers' charge against the OKC Thunder on Tuesday. The one-time league MVP scored 25 points in 30 minutes, but despite his best efforts, the Clippers suffered a 126-107 loss.

Kawhi Leonard misses his second consecutive game with a right ankle sprain. The two-time NBA champion suited up in the team's first six games of the season and posted huge numbers. He is averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game, while shooting 50.5%, including 40.0% from deep.

Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders are also sidelined from the Suns game. Miller is nursing a left hamstring injury, while Sanders is recovering from a right knee sprain.

Meanwhile, Bradley Beal will mark his comeback after missing the previous game against the Thunder. The veteran guard isn't listed on the team's injury report after sitting out with right knee injury management on Tuesday.

The Clippers have endured a rough start to their season and are currently on a two-game losing streak. James Harden and his squad are ninth in the conference standings with a 3-4 record after seven games.
