One player that has been mentioned in trade rumors lately is Ivica Zubac. Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reported that several teams have called the Clippers to inquire about the 28-year-old center. He added that "multiple suitors are expected to continue pursuing Zubac," and that Indiana Pacers are one of them.

If James Harden becomes available before February’s trade deadline, multiple front offices are expected to closely monitor his situation.

To their credit, the Clippers stars are showing that they're fully committed to turning this nightmare of a season around, says head coach Tyronn Lue. "Just with constant talks, their actions, the way they're trying to play," he said when asked how Harden and Leonard are working at making the team better.

Harden misses a potential tying 3-point shot at the buzzer but finishes with 34 points to move into 10th on the NBA’s career scoring list in a 109-106 defeat.

Kevin Durant (No. 8) and James Harden (No. 10) paved unique paths to land among the NBA's Top 10 all-time scorers.
