Leonard first suffered something wrong with his knee in Game 1 when he dropped 38 points. He would then play through the injury in game 2 before taking a rest on it today in a big Game 3.
Leonard is expected to be day-to-day with this injury as he’ll most likely be back for Game 4 on Saturday. This will most likely bring either Terrence Mann or Norman Powell in the starting lineup for tonight’s game.
This will offer the Clippers a small ball lineup tonight. This will bring more pressure on Russell Westbrook to carry the load for tonight’s game.
This changes things drastically in this series if Kawhi misses time. With Paul George already out for the Clippers, this makes Ty Lue’s job a lot more harder throughout this series.
