John Wall has a season-high 23 points for the Clippers, but Denver takes advantage of the absence of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Luke Kennard to hand them a 114-104 defeat.
LOS ANGELES — For a second consecutive game, the Clippers played without their two stars, three if you toss in guard Luke Kennard. And for the umpteenth time this season, Coach Tyronn Lue was asked more about who’s not playing for the Clippers than who is on the floor.
“I mean, it’s part of the game,” Lue said. “We’re not the only team who’s going through it and so, it is what it is. The guys are getting better, they’re progressing pretty well and that’s all we can worry about. We have to worry about tonight.” Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon contributed to the Clippers’ misery with a game-high 29 points on 12-of-16 shooting.
The Nuggets came into the game as one of the worst interior defensive teams in the league and gave up 42 points in the paint. But the Clippers, fourth in the league in defended field goal percentage inside of six feet, allowed the Nuggets to score 52 points in the paint.

HD 20329b: An ultra-short-period planet around a solar-type star found by TESSWe used TESS light curves and HARPS-N spectrograph radial velocity measurements to establish the physical properties of the transiting exoplanet candidate found around the star HD 20329 (TOI-4524). We performed a joint fit of the light curves and radial velocity time series to measure the mass, radius, and orbital parameters of the candidate. We confirm and characterize HD 20329b, an ultra-short-period (USP) planet transiting a solar-type star. The host star (HD 20329, $V=8.74$ mag, $J=7.5$ mag) is characterized by its G5 spectral type with $\mathrm{M}_\star=0.90 \pm 0.05$ M$_\odot$, $\mathrm{R}_\star=1.13 \pm 0.02$ R$_\odot$, and $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{eff}}= 5596 \pm 50$ K; it is located at a distance $d=63.68 \pm 0.29$ pc. By jointly fitting the available TESS transit light curves and follow-up radial velocity measurements, we find an orbital period of $0.9261 \pm (0.5\times 10^{-4})$ days, a planetary radius of $1.72 \pm 0.07$ $\mathrm{R}_\oplus$, and a mass of $7.42 \pm 1.09$ $\mathrm{M}_\oplus$, implying a mean density of $ρ_\mathrm{p}=8.06 \pm 1.53$ g cm$^{-3}$. HD 20329b joins the $\sim$30 currently known USP planets with radius and Doppler mass measurements.
