The LA Clippers are expected to make a lineup change with Russell Westbrook coming off the bench to help the team try to snap a six-game losing streak against the Houston Rockets on Friday, sources confirmed to ESPN.
The Clippers (3-7) have lost the past five with James Harden in the lineup. Versatile guard Terance Mann is expected to move into the starting lineup with Westbrook serving as sixth man for the first time in his Clippers tenure.
Sources confirmed Westbrook talked to the Clippers coaching staff Thursday about coming off the bench, a move that was first reported by Bleacher Report.
Head coach Ty Lue will meet with reporters during his pregame news conference Friday night. The team has been out of sync since Harden was acquired Oct.
