LA Clippers coach Tyronn Lue missed the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to heightened back pain. This marks another brief absence as he previously missed three games earlier this month, during which the team went 2-1 under assistant coach Brian Shaw. Shaw highlighted their continued collaboration via phone, emphasizing shared strategies despite their different coaching styles. Additionally, the Clippers faced further challenges, as assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy was unavailable for the game due to a family medical issue, compounding the situation for the coaching staff.
We still get together as a coaching staff. It's just on the phone now as opposed to in person and put all our ideas together.
Obviously, we're two different people, but he trusts my instincts and the reads that I see and make during a game.
Lue missed a three-game stretch earlier this month due to the back pain.
