Harden is out for Monday's game against the 76ers for personal reasons.
Harden remains away from the team for a second consecutive contest. The star guard's next chance to rejoin the club comes Wednesday against the Cavaliers. With Harden out of action, the Clippers will lean on Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders to step up against Philadelphia.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Jones (knee) will not play Monday against the 76ers.
Jones recently completed a rehab stint in the G League and is nearing a return to action. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Cavaliers. Across 17 appearances this season, Jones has averaged 10.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks.
Bogdanovic (hamstring) didn't play any minutes Sunday in the Clippers' 117-93 win over the Suns.
Bogdanovic was cleared to suit up after being sidelined since late December with a hamstring injury, but the Clippers opted to keep him out of the rotation. Considering James Harden (personal) missed Sunday's game, Bogdanovic's lack of involvement isn't the most encouraging sign that he'll reclaim a regular spot on the second unit, though it's possible that the Clippers made Bogdanovic available only in an emergency for the front end of a back-to-back set.

Rotowire
Miller finished with 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 117-93 victory over the Suns.
Miller provided a scoring punch off the bench Sunday, trailing only Kawhi Leonard in the Clippers' scoring column. The young wing has seen a recent uptick in both playing time and production, reaching double figures in 10 of his past 12 appearances and logging 20-plus minutes in all but one game during the stretch.

Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Double-double in win
Rotowire
Zubac registered 14 points (5-5 FG, 4-9 FT), 20 rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes during Sunday's 117-93 victory over the Suns.
Zubac was perfect from the field in Sunday's win and anchored the glass with a game-high, season-best 20 rebounds. The 28-year-old now sits at 24 double-doubles through 41 appearances this season. While matching the 59 double-doubles he posted in the 2024-25 regular season may be a tall task, Zubac has firmly established himself as a reliable and consistent presence on the boards.

Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Top scorer in win
Rotowire
Leonard supplied 25 points (9-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-10 FT), eight rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 117-93 win over the Suns.
Leonard led all scorers Sunday with 25 points in a lopsided Clippers victory. The star forward has been remarkably consistent offensively, reaching 20 points in 27 straight games and in 32 of his 35 appearances this season. At age 34, Leonard continues to perform at an elite level.
Sanders is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Suns, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Sanders will move into the starting lineup Sunday with James Harden (personal) ruled out, joining Kris Dunn, Kawhi Leonard, John Collins and Ivica Zubac. Across eight starts this season, Sanders is averaging 11.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 29.0 minutes per contest.

Clippers' James Harden: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Harden (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Harden will be inactive for the first time since Jan. 5 due to an undisclosed personal reason. Over his past 10 appearances, the Arizona State product has averaged 24.2 points, 8.7 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals while shooting 36.1 percent from the field and 27.1 percent from beyond the arc. In Harden's absence, Jordan Miller, Cam Christie and Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) are candidates for expanded roles. Harden's next chance to play will come Monday against the 76ers.
Bogdanovic (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Bogdanovic, who has been sidelined since late December, is no longer on the injury report following a successful rehab stint practicing in the G League. It will be interesting to see how he fits into the rotation with Jordan Miller breaking out in Los Angeles.
Clippers' Derrick Jones: Recalled to NBA on Friday
Rotowire
Los Angeles recalled Jones (knee) from the G League's San Diego Clippers on Friday.
Jones is seemingly nearing a return to action after being sidelined for a month and is now back with the main club from a short practice period in the G League. The 28-year-old will aim to appear in one of his team's home games during the first week of February, although he could have his minutes managed in the short term. When he was healthy at the beginning of the season, he made 13 starts, averaging 10.5 points per game over that span.

Clippers' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Back to NBA
Rotowire
Los Angeles recalled Bogdanovic (hamstring) from the G League's San Diego Clippers on Friday.
Bogdanovic has yet to play again since suffering a hamstring injury in late December, but he has been practicing with the G League team as he continues to progress in his recovery. While Sunday's game against the Suns may come too soon for him, he'll look to resume action at some point in February. Prior to the issue, Bogdanovic saw consistent action off the bench. He's averaging 8.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 22.5 minutes per game across 16 regular-season appearances (three starts) thus far.
