Since the Los Angeles Clippers picked up Ben Simmons, the three-time NBA All-Star has been in and out of the lineup. When the Detroit Pistons pay a visit to the Inuit Dome on Wednesday night, they won’t face the veteran reserve.

Coach Tyronn Lue says the Clippers took “a lot of good shots that we just didn’t make” in 108-102 loss, their fifth defeat in six games since the All-Star break.

The Clippers thought they were pulling away from the Lakers this season, but LeBron James and company have chased them down.
