Los Angeles -- As draft day nears, tension has risen in the Clippers war room. League sources say the Clippers brass is torn on who they want to select with the fourth overall pick in the CSL draft. With the top 3 of Zion Williamson, Luka Doncic and Ja Morant basically a given, that fourth spot is where the draft gets questionable.

Of course, there's still the possibility the Bucks elect not to take Morant...
