At the early stage, the Clippers are still working through as they try to incorporate James Harden into their rotation. The Clippers are off to a straight 6 games losing streak ever since Harden’s arrival. The reigning MVP Russell Westbrook, is leveraging with all his experience and leadership. Something has to change before they clash with the Rockets in the In-Season game. The Clippers are losing at 0-2 in the group and this is their best shot if at all they want to remain serious contenders for the In-Season cup. 

Russ has made an important decision right before their game with the Rockets that paves the way for 27-year-old Terrance Mann to shine in the first rotation. 

Russ officially takes demotion as the sixth man

After taking the biggest payout of his entire career, Westbrook has decided to come off the bench ahead of the match against the Rockets tonight. Chris Haynes of the Bleacher Report reported that Russ hopes his decision can help accelerate the winning process of the Clippers. 

Terance Mann will be starting instead of Westbrook, giving him a chance to shine with future Hall of Famers- Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and James Harden.
