US EditionClippers’ Kawhi Leonard Sidelined by Knee Injury
Kawhi Leonard's left knee contusion will sideline him for two games as the Clippers manage his recovery during a critical road trip, where he averages 28.2 points per game.
- On Sunday, Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers forward, returned to Los Angeles for treatment after a left knee contusion and will miss the next two games.
- He reportedly suffered the injury last Saturday against the Pistons and had been playing through it while managing an ankle sprain from Wednesday, which travel may have aggravated.
- Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers forward, has played four games since the injury, limited to 30 minutes each, while averaging a career-high 28.2 points over 30 games with a.499/.399/.941 shooting line.
- Coach Ty Lue relied on the bench when Leonard and John Collins were ruled out, and the Clippers face back-to-back road tests against the Wizards on Monday and the Bulls on Tuesday without their 34-year-old star.
- The contusion affects Leonard's left knee while prior surgeries were to his right knee, easing some concerns; his play has helped the Clippers win 12 of their past 14 games, and a longer rest could aid his return for Monday's clash.
