The Clippers without their stars. Already deprived of Paul George, probably out for the series, the L.A. club will also have to do without Kawhi Leonard this Thursday, in Arizona, for the second game of the series against Phoenix in the first round of the play-offs. The double NBA champion suffers from a sprained right knee. He aggravated his injury in Game 1 before gritting his teeth for Game 2, as reported by ESPN. Leonard could also miss Game 4 on Saturday.
The two teams are tied after the first two matches of this exciting series. Kawhi Leonard, 31, finished the regular season averaging 23.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He scored 38 and 31 points against Kevin Durant’s Suns.
