Kawhi Leonard Won't Play Thursday
2 years agoLos Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will sit out Thursday's matchup against the Heat. This is an expected move, as the team completes a back-to-back set. Leonard did a solid job against Orlando Wednesday with 14 points, seven rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes. It was only his seventh appearance of the season, and the injury-prone star clearly isn't in a state where he can play on back-to-back nights. With Kawhi on the shelf, the ball will mostly go through Paul George on Thursday, while Reggie Jackson and John Wall should have more opportunities offensively as well.
