How to watch Clippers vs. Lakers today: TV channel, time, live stream for 2022 NBA Thursday game
The Battle for LA lacked some star power last season, with Anthony Davis and Paul George coming in and out of the lineup for their respective teams and Kawhi Leonard sitting out the entire season.
Everything should go back to normal this season.
On Thursday, the Lakers and Clippers face off in the first of four encounters in the 2022-23 regular season. Both sides are entering the campaign with great expectations. Led by Davis and LeBron James, the Lakers will attempt to return to the playoffs after failing to qualify last season. With Leonard and George back in full force and strong support all around them, the Clippers have the third-best chance of winning the championship.
What will Leonard look like in his first game in over a year? Will Davis and James spoil his highly anticipated return?
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the matchup.
