LA Clippers without four key players vs. Detroit Pistons

DETROIT -- Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Serge Ibaka and Patrick Beverley were all out for the LA Clippers for their 100-98 victory over the Pistons on Wednesday night.

Leonard was out with a sore right foot, Ibaka has lower back tightness, Beverley has a broken left hand, and the Clippers said they rested George for this game.

Short-handed Los Angeles won its seventh straight game on Wednesday night.

"We have a deep team," guard Luke Kennard said after the game. "We've got guys that can play.''

Rodney McGruder (sprained right elbow) and Dennis Smith Jr. (left knee inflammation) were sidelined for the Pistons.
