The Los Angeles Clippers will be without superstar Kawhi Leonard for at least Game 4 as the two-time Finals MVP has no timetable to return to NBA playoff action.
Leonard was absent in Game 3 of the Clippers’ first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns. The 31-year-old suffered a right knee sprain and has no timetable to return in a brutal blow to the Clippers’ hopes of advancing, according to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.
ESPN’s NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported the issue was not related to the ACL tear that forced Leonard to miss the entire 2021/22 season. The five-time All-Star reportedly suffered the injury in Game 1 and played through it in the second clash in Phoenix, but he was unable to play in the series bow in Los Angeles - which the Suns won 123-109 to go up 2-1.
