The superstar missed Game 1 and currently has no timetable for a return
would be out for Game 4 with knee inflammation and that there is no timeline for his return. Leonard missed Game 1 of the series after missing the last few weeks of the regular season and struggled in Games 2 and 3.
LA Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out against the Dallas Mavericks for Game 4."It was obvious in Game 3 that his mobility was severely restricted, so organizationally we just made a decision that he's out," Frank said to media before the game."The obvious question I know is coming so I'll beat you to it. 'When's he coming back?' Can't tell you a timeline, wish I had a crystal ball.
Leonard had averaged 12 PPG while shooting 39.3% from the floor in Games 2 and 3 and it's not surprising they've decided as an organization to sit him and wait until he's closer to 100%. He had one breakaway dunk in this series and hung on the rim for a long after the whistle blew for a timeout so he could soften the impact on his knee. He had averaged 23.7 PPG this season shooting 52.5% from the floor, so it was a drastic change from the regular season.
"Kawhi is incredibly disappointed. We feel horrible for him," Frank continued."He played 68 games this year and had a very healthy year. This came out of nowhere." Mavericks Head Coach Jason Kidd says they'll just have to learn from Game 1 as they move forward in the series:"You look at Harden and being aggressive. You can look at the other guys being aggressive... We can learn from Game 1." Dallas lost Game 1 when the Clippers played without Leonard and will hoping their fortunes change here.
