Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Los Angeles Clippers leading scorer Norman Powell has been ruled out of Sunday's road game against the Philadelphia 76ers with a left hamstring strain.
Powell, who has averaged 23.3 points over 15 games this season, was injured in the first quarter of a 102-99 victory against the Golden State Warriors on Monday. He finished the game and scored a team-best 23 points.
The Clippers not only won each of the two games Powell has missed, they open a four-game road swing Sunday on a four-game winning streak.
In 10 NBA seasons, Powell has averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 572 career games (214 starts). He was thrust into a primary scoring role this season after the departure of Paul George to the 76ers and a chronic knee condition for Kawhi Leonard, that has prevented the six-time All-Star from playing a game this season.
Leonard also has been ruled out for Sunday's game amid his continued recovery.
