Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss the Clippers’ Game 5 on Wednesday and could be out the rest of the series with a right knee injury, sources say.
Leonard tweaked the knee on a drive late in the Clippers’ Game 4 victory, grimacing in pain as he planted on way to the basket. He stayed in briefly but didn’t finish the game.
He informed his teammates late Tuesday that he’d be out for Wednesday, sources said. He was not on the Clippers injury report Tuesday.
