A Los Angeles Clippers announcer was skeptical of Wizards point guard Trae Young's appearance on the team's road trip.

The Washington Wizards were unable to keep pace with the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday in a 119-105 affair at Intuit Dome. The plan to raise Khris Middleton’s trade value was in full effect to open the contest.

The Los Angeles Clippers are set to host the Washington Wizards tonight, January 14, 2026, at 10:30 p.m. ET. The Clippers, with a 16-23 record, are led by James Harden, while the Wizards hold a 10-28 record and rely on players like Tre Johnson.

Kawhi Leonard scored 33 points and James Harden added 22 points as the Los Angeles Clippers extended their winning streak to four games with a 119-105 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Tyronn Lue says “Playoff” Kawhi Leonard has taken over as the Clippers beat the Wizards and ride a four-game win streak.

The Wizards will face the Los Angeles Clippers on their road journey, and Trae Young will miss the night due to his quad injury.

BOTTOM LINE: Washington enters the matchup against Los Angeles after losing three in a row. The Clippers have gone 10-9 at home. Los Angeles has a 10-14 record in games decided by at least 10 points.

The Clippers are 11-2 in their last 13 games after starting 6-21 with the worst record in the West. They are now just one win away from being in the play-in tournament.
