The Los Angeles Clippers are expected to get head coach Tyronn Lue back after he missed Sunday night's game with back pain.

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue was not on the bench for Sunday's home game against the Sacramento Kings because of back pain. The team announced shortly before tipoff that Lue was being sent home and that assistant coach Brian Shaw would be in charge of the team.

For the game, the Clippers could remain without one of their best players, as Ben Simmons is on the injury report. The former LSU star has missed each of the previous seven games, so this would be his eighth straight out of action (if he doesn't play).
