Kawhi Leonard is getting a night off after helping the LA Clippers to another big victory.
The team announced Wednesday that Leonard will not play due to injury management for his left knee soreness. Leonard played in Tuesday’s 114-99 win against the Dallas Mavericks in which he had 28 points, eight rebounds, four assists and a steal. That victory was the Clippers’ sixth straight as they have risen to No. 3 in the Western Conference.
