Luke Kennard - Doesn't travel to Minnesota Kennard (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Timberwolves, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Impact A sore right hamstring forced Kennard to exit Sunday's regular-season finale early and will keep him sidelined for at least one additional contest. Kennard averaged 12.8 points per game and shot 46.5 percent from three over the final 17 games of the regular season, so his absence is a big blow for the Clippers at a critical time, though the late-season returns of Paul George and Norman Powell should make his absence sting a bit less.

Luke Kennard - Questionable for play-in game Kennard (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's play-in game against Minnesota.
Impact A sore right hamstring forced Kennard to exit Sunday's regular-season finale against the Thunder in the third quarter. While it doesn't look to be anything overly serious, with only one day off before the play-in game, Kennard's availability could be in jeopardy if he's still dealing with discomfort Tuesday. Kennard averaged 12.8 points per game and shot 46.5 percent from three over the final 17 games of the regular season, though the return of Paul George would make his potential absence sting a bit less.

Nicolas Batum - Not on injury report Batum (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's play-in game against Minnesota.
Impact Batum was scratched from Sunday's regular-season finale against OKC with an apparent ankle injury, but in retrospect it's likely that he was simply held out for rest purposes. Expect the veteran to be back in the lineup and available for his usual workload Tuesday night.

Brandon Boston Jr. - Scores 18 off bench in return Boston (illness) turned in 18 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 38 minutes in Sunday's 138-88 win over the Thunder.
Impact After logging 21 points in a playoff game for the G League's Agua Caliente Clippers on Saturday, Boston rejoined the parent club for Sunday's regular-season finale. He saw his first NBA action since March 22 after an illness caused him to miss a handful of games. The Clippers rested several key rotation players Sunday, allowing Boston to take on his most minutes of the season. Expect him to stick on the bench while the Clippers run what will likely be a more streamlined rotation in Tuesday's matchup with the Timberwolves as part of the Western Conference play-in tournament.
