Los Angeles Clippers head coach Ty Lue has confirmed that star player Kawhi Leonard will not be available for Game 1 against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Leonard has been dealing with inflammation in his right knee, which has kept him sidelined since March 31.
Despite being listed as questionable on the injury report, Leonard's absence for the opening game of the series was expected. Lue described Leonard's status as day-to-day, indicating that his availability for future games will be determined based on his recovery.
