Behind the Los Angeles Clippers\u2019 surprising success this season has been the stellar heroics of both James Harden and Norman Powell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Defying expectations that they would have a poor 2024-25 due to the exit of Paul George<\/a>, the the Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> managed to silence their critics<\/a> thanks to the two. <\/p>\n

James Harden<\/a> runs the show as the floor general with averages of 21.7 points and 8.3 assists, Norman Powell<\/a> meanwhile takes the lead as the L.A.\u2019s top scorer with a team-high 23.9 markers.<\/p>\n

As Los Angeles sits at the No. 6 spot of the West with 26-19 and just two games away for the fourth seed, Clippers fans and even experts have massively campaigned<\/a> for the duo to land and play in the 2025 All-Star Game this February. <\/p>\n

Yet unfortunately, it seems that luck and favor are way too elusive for them to earn that ticket in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Kawhi Leonard gets candid about James Harden & Norman Powell’s All-Star odds<\/h2>\n

The NBA has already unveiled the three fan-vote returns and the starters for both the Conferences ahead of the All-Star Game this upcoming month. But two of the Clippers’ primary candidates for the festivities are yet to be confirmed if they will be in the final mix.<\/p>\n

In the final voting results from the player rank, media rank, and fan rank, Harden and Powell made it to the Top 10, but their spots aren’t entirely secured. Harden garnered the sixth highest weighted score amongst guards in the West (7.25) while Powell ranked No. 10 (8.5).<\/p>\n
