The Los Angeles Clippers will once again face off against the Memphis Grizzlies Friday night. In Game 6 of the opening-round NBA Playoffs series, the Clippers will go for the clincher, as they lead 3-2 in the best-of-seven tilt. Los Angeles will, however, be playing with a banged-up squad.

ESPN.com reports that Los Angeles point guard Chris Paul, who suffered hip flexor and finger injuries in Game 5 on Wednesday, will play in Friday's game.

Blake Griffin is also suffering from a sprained knee and will be a game-time decision for Game 6. It is unlikely that both of the Clippers' heaviest hitters will miss a potential clinching game.
