The LA Clippers vs the Sacramento Kings is one of four preseason games scheduled to be played on Wednesday.
The Clippers enter the matchup fresh off a 102-94 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. The Kawhi Leonard-led squad opened its preseason campaign with a dominant 142-95 blowout win against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions from the Chinese Basketball Association. However, it could not build on the momentum against Denver.
The Clippers will look to get back on the winning track, starting with their matchup against the Kings, who have had a rough start to their preseason campaign. The Kings have lost the first two preseason games on their schedule and are desperate for a win.
The game will be held at the Golden 1 Center, with tip-off scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Fans can catch the game on the league's website and mobile app with an NBA League Pass subscription.
